Next-Generation Missile

The Next-Generation Missile is a new missile developed by Lockheed Martin. It is the first missile which was developed with space-use in mind. The missile itself is powered by a solid-fuel rocket engine, with 8 retro thrusters providing enhanced 360-degree navigation. This enhanced maneuverability gives the missile the ability to re-acquire target if active/passive jamming was used.

Advanced onboard computer provides a real-time connection with the launch platform, and gives the operator the ability to "automagically" re-target the missile to a second target.

For in-atmosphere operations, the missile is equipped with two foldable wings, which give is exceptional glide-in capability. Thanks to the limited onboard fuel, the missile is unable to maneuver once in the atmosphere, but the missile is capable of gliding well over 500km to its designated target.
