Lockheed Martin-led team unveils new Falcon mobile air-defence solution

摘要

A collaborative industry team led by Lockheed Martin unveiled a new mobile open architecture short-to-medium range air defence solution - designated the Falcon Weapon System - at the IDEX exhibition in Abu Dhabi on 18 February. According to the team, Falcon is intended to address "a critical gap in short- and medium-range ground-based air defence" to defeat "current and emerging threats", including weaponised unmanned aircraft systems (UASs), cruise missiles, and fixed-and rotary-wing platforms capable of delivering ordnance at extended ranges.
