- Lockheed Martin outlined development progress on space-based interceptors aimed at boost-phase missile defense, extending layered protection into orbit.
- The concept uses orbital infrared sensing to cue a satellite-deployed interceptor within 3-5 minutes of launch, targeting missiles before warheads or decoys separate.
- Lockheed Martin plans upcoming tests to demonstrate boost-phase interceptor viability as an added layer of US homeland defense.
- The company framed early intercept as a cost lever, potentially reducing the number of interceptors needed versus midcourse or terminal engagements.
