Lockheed Martin is progressing with the Mid-Range Capability effort and plans to hand over a prototype at the end of the year.

In order to defeat near-peer competitors and provide support in multi-domain operations, the US Army is progressing with its Mid-Range Capability (MRC) programme and should receive the first prototype this year.


Supplied by Lockheed Martin, the US Army intends the weapon system to strike objectives between the Precision Strike Missile and Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon, in addition to providing defensive and offensive capacities with a range from 300 miles to 1,725 miles (480-2,775km).
