The Missile Defense Agency selected Lockheed Martin to deliver the nation's new homeland missile defense capability, the Next Generation Interceptor (NGI).
The multiple-kill vehicle interceptor is designed to protect against long-range ballistic missile threats.
"Lockheed Martin is proud to partner with the MDA on a revolutionary interceptor to advance our nation's security. We are committed to delivering reliable interceptors that will seamlessly integrate with the GMD system and can rapidly evolve with the threat," said Sarah Hiza, vice president and general manager of Strategic and Missile Defense at Lockheed Martin. "We stand ready to support our customer for decades to come with a solution capable of protecting the nation from current and future threats."
Lockheed Martin remains focused on providing MDA an interceptor solution that is capable, mature, reliable, and affordable. The program continues on its path to the Critical Design Review, integration with the broader weapon system and flight testing. Lockheed Martin's NGI program embraces digital tools, processes, and technologies as an enabler to meet our customers' production needs today and well into the future.
Lockheed Martin is committed to delivering the first NGI in advance of the warfighter's need.
