|1| Lockheed Martin presented a generic
wing loaded with company products,
including its Long-Range Anti-ship Missile,
LRASM. The stealth missile, derived from the
Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile-Extended
Range, completed a successful test just
before the expo.



|1| Lockheed Martin’s Cuda missile is intended
to increase the F-35’s loadout
without resorting to unstealthy carriage
on the wings. A dozen of the radar
guided hit-to-kill missiles could be
carried internally on the F-35.
Steering is aided by bursts from a
belt of thruster ports.



|1| This two-stage hypersonic missile
is Lockheed Martin’s entry in the
upcoming High-Speed Strike Weapon
competition. Like the X-51 hypersonic
demonstrator, the missile is accelerated
to hypersonic velocity on an ATACMS
booster. Reaching speeds of up to Mach
5, such a weapon could go a long way
toward keeping standoff bombers relevant
against future air defenses. The dual-mode
ramjet weapon also has some
stealth shaping. It bears the Skunk Works
logo on the tail.
