Lockheed Martin successfully completed a critical flight test for its QuadStar next-generation short-range interceptor. The test occurred at White Sands Missile Range as a key milestone for the U.S. Army’s Stinger missile replacement program.
The QuadStar seeker demonstrated its ability to capture imagery and process signals while tracking a target on a tactical trajectory. This achievement validates the seeker's design and ensures the program remains on schedule.
The system leverages AI-driven signal processing and an open-systems architecture to engage unmanned vehicles and aircraft. This test confirms the performance of seeker technology and other critical systems for the future interceptor.
