|1| Lockheed Martin presented a generic

wing loaded with company products,

including its Long-Range Anti-ship Missile,

LRASM. The stealth missile, derived from the

Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile-Extended

Range, completed a successful test just

before the expo.




|1| Lockheed Martin’s Cuda missile is intended

to increase the F-35’s loadout

without resorting to unstealthy carriage

on the wings. A dozen of the radar

guided hit-to-kill missiles could be

carried internally on the F-35.

Steering is aided by bursts from a

belt of thruster ports.




|1| This two-stage hypersonic missile

is Lockheed Martin’s entry in the

upcoming High-Speed Strike Weapon

competition. Like the X-51 hypersonic

demonstrator, the missile is accelerated

to hypersonic velocity on an ATACMS

booster. Reaching speeds of up to Mach

5, such a weapon could go a long way

toward keeping standoff bombers relevant

against future air defenses. The dual-mode

ramjet weapon also has some

stealth shaping. It bears the Skunk Works

logo on the tail.
