Strike Systems
Developing and building next-generation strike systems and technology for today's warfighter
Rapid, advanced manufacturing for today's power competition
Today's warfighters require systems that are essential, effective, flexible, and low cost. We are leading the way in developing new classes of weapons to support our warfighters and defend our nation, leveraging decades of weapon systems engineering and manufacturing capabilities to provide end to end support for military systems.
Strike system capabilities
Providing technical capabilities that are vital from concept exploration through production
- Collaborative autonomy
- Combat training
- Modeling and simulation
- Rapid prototyping
- Test solutions
- Warhead design and development
Enduring Shield
Enduring Shield is a mobile ground-based weapon system designed to acquire, track, engage, and defeat unmanned aircraft systems, cruise missiles, rockets, artillery, and mortars. Enduring Shield is capable of firing a range of missiles while providing current and future growth capabilities with full integration with the Army's Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System.
Gremlins
Gremlins are low-cost, reusable UAS launched from existing military aircraft while out of range of adversary defenses. The Gremlins architecture enables other critical technologies, such as advanced payloads, autonomous operations, and distributed battle management of swarming systems. Gremlins are fully retrievable by existing airborne platforms and ready for reuse within 24 hours.
Small Glide Munition
SGM is an enhanced capability, stand-off precision guided munition that can be carried on AC-130 gunships or unmanned aircraft systems. The SGM features a modular design, allowing multiple common variants and considerable design flexibility.
DARPA Air Combat Evolution
The DARPA Air Combat Evolution (ACE) program seeks to reform aerial dogfighting by implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) into high-intensity air conflicts and increasing warfighter trust in combat autonomy. As algorithms and tactics mature, so will the scenarios and adversarial capabilities.
