Lockheed Martin launches Strigo modular missile tech 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 weapons fielding. 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 internally in the Strigo Product Center, which can move concepts from sketch to tested solution in months. Technologies from Strigo were used in developing the Increment 2 seeker for the U.S. Army's Precision Strike Missile (PrSM), which flew for the first time in March, traveling 350 kilometers. This announcement is part of Lockheed's broader push to build weapons faster and cheaper, including the Rapid Fielding Center opened in March and the cheaper PAC-3 ACE interceptor introduced in July, all supporting the Pentagon's Arsenal of Freedom initiative.
