Skunk Works® and XTEND Expand Joint All Domain Command and Control for Advanced Mission Execution Lockheed Martin Skunk Works® and XTEND collaborated to integrate the XTEND Operating System (XOS) into Skunk Works’ MDCX™ autonomy platform, allow simultaneous Command and Control (C2) of multiple classes of UAS, creating improved situational awareness for lower-level mission execution in joint all-domain C2 (JADC2) scenarios. With the planned integration of XTEND’s XOS into Lockheed Martin’s MC-MDCX, a single operator can conduct both missions. The integration demonstration proved a reduction in total manpower for complex mission executions, removing the need for mission handoffs to lower-tiered operators, and improving situational awareness across the mission space.

🇺🇸🚀 RTX’s Raytheon has announced the Next-Generation Short-Range Interceptor (NGSRI), a missile positioned as the successor to the Stinger system. The NGSRI will feature a rocket motor developed with Northrop Grumman, packing fuel more densely to boost performance without increasing the motor’s size. “The rocket motor itself is a really, really fixed volume, so it is a challenge to get more range out of it, but we are getting a significant amount,” said Raytheon’s NGSRI Tech Director William Strauss.
