Lockheed Martin propose hard kill concept against air-to-air missile

Lockheed Martin has emerged as the first company to throw its hat into the ring for the AFRL’s solicitation for a miniature self-defense munition concept study.

Earlier this week, we reported that AFRL has initiated a study for an air-to-air seeker to fit in a self-defense munition. Lockheed says its proposal will leverage on the active millimetre wave radar developed for the PAC-3 missile segment enhancement (MSE) program.

Three miniature self defence munitions (MSDM) could potentially replace one AIM-120 in the internal bay of a F-35.
