Lockheed Martin launches modular missile tech Strigo with dedicated product center

Published Aug 11, 02:38 PM UTC

Lockheed Martin announced the launch of Strigo, a new line of modular missile and sensor hardware, along with a dedicated product center designed to accelerate weapon development and deployment. The Strigo line covers radio-frequency sensors, missile datalinks, and seeker technologies built on a common baseline architecture, allowing reconfiguration for air defense, missile defense, and air-to-surface strike missions. The company has invested $250 million in the Strigo Product Center, which can move concepts from sketch to tested solution in months. Technologies from the Strigo family were used in developing the Increment 2 seeker package for the U.S. Army's Precision Strike Missile (PrSM), which flew for the first time in March, traveling over 217 miles. This announcement is part of Lockheed's broader push to build weapons faster and cheaper, following the opening of a Rapid Fielding Center in March and the introduction of a cheaper Patriot interceptor in July.
