Lockheed Martin has successfully completed the first flight test of its Next-Gen Short-Range Interceptor (NGSRI), a missile built to step into the Stinger’s shoes.
Fired from the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, the test validated the interceptor’s performance and confirmed that its key subsystems have reached full maturity.
NGSRI is designed to take on drones, helicopters, and fixed-wing aircraft, and in many scenarios during the test, it reportedly exceeded the capability of the legacy system.
