摘要

The Army has selected General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) as the prime contractor for its Digital Guided Missile prototype program, the company announced Monday. "We are excited to be chosen to help frame the next generation of weapon systems for the U.S. Army," Scott Forney, president of GA-EMS, said in a statement. "GA-EMS has more than a decade's worth of experience developing and advancing hypersonic weapons technologies for the joint service. We develop missile designs that have a digital model grounded with vetted modeling and simulation infrastructures. We are eager to leverage that expertise to develop competitive new ideas that better equip our men and women across a multi-domain battlespace." GA-EMS said the Digital Guided Missile program will look to develop new advanced missile concepts to support implementation of the Army's new Multi-Domain Operations (MDOs) concept by 2028.
