Lockheed Martin has introduced the new generation hypersonic glide vehicle (NXGB), a supersonic glide weapon designed for lower cost, rapid mass production, and launch from land, sea, or air platforms. The system offers greater range and speed than current models and has successfully completed its Preliminary Design Review. A flight test of the NXGB is scheduled for 2027, positioning Lockheed Martin once again in the U.S. competition for hypersonic armaments.
