“And we're actually planning for a real on-orbit space-based interceptor demonstration by 2028.”

In context

“land Defense Mission, including Golden Dome for America, is one opportunity for which Lockheed Martin Corporation is ready and well-positioned with existing products, expertise, and production capabilities. Although details of the initiative's architecture and acquisition plan continue to take shape, the space domain is expected to play a vital role and Lockheed Martin Corporation continues to make significant progress to advance space-based defense. Earlier this quarter, the first NextGen GEO or NG missile warning system satellite was successfully completed. It's finished environmental testing. It's on track to provide the next level of global surveillance and detection of missile threats from space. We also submitted proposals for space-based interceptors and other emerging technologies And we're actually planning for a real on-orbit space-based interceptor demonstration by 2028. Further, led by RMS Lockheed Martin Corporation has built a prototyping environment at our Center for Innovation in Virginia. To support the collaborative development of a Golden Dome for America command and control capability. Through a series of demonstrations, Lockheed Martin Corporation's open systems architecture is already fusing existing and new C2 capabilities from seabed to space. And importantly, these capabilities are not limited to our own. We have a broad team of industry partners that are participating in the prototype system development, ensuring that the U.S. Government has access to the best available solution for each element of the eventual Golden Dome command and control system. At the same time, we're rapidly increasing production capacity across the missiles, sensors”
