Lockheed Looking at Ship-Launched Threat

August 2, 2005 :: News

Defense Daily reports today that Lockheed has begun to analyze the threat of a short range ballistic or cruise missile attack from the sea. Dave Kier, Lockheed Martin vice president is cited as saying on June 28 that the study, conducted by the company’s own funds, had “worked out a comprehensive architecture that would use existing missile-defense assets, company- developed and otherwise that could be used in a defensive system.” Defense Daily also notes that the House added $20 million to the Missile Defense Agency’s FY ‘06 budget to assess this sort of ship-launched threat and potential response. A study by the MDA could, according to Defense Daily, prompt the MDA to “examine its missile-defense toolbox, which includes Patriot, Standard Missile-3, existing radars, Aegis ships and other platforms and payloads that could take on the asymmetric ballistic and cruise threat against the United States.”
