Lockheed Martin has announced the development of a modular payload delivery system for hypersonic missions…
Under its Modular Payload Delivery System (MPDS) program, Lockheed Martin aims to transform proven hypersonic missile airframe technologies into a versatile family of modular, multi-role weapons for both offensive and defensive operations.
By reconfiguring core hypersonic technologies into a modular architecture, MPDS will allow for the integration of various payloads with minimal system modifications.
The program intends to enable hypersonic platforms to scale for long-range deep-strike missions, carry larger payloads for shorter-range requirements, and adapt to missile defense operations.
Built upon proven hypersonic technologies, the MPDS will be capable of deployment across diverse operational theaters…
