Lockheed Martin plans to conduct multiple on-orbit missile defense technology demonstrations between 2026 and 2028. The initiative aims to enhance space-enabled missile defense capabilities, including sensing and maneuvering to address missile threats.

The demonstrations will be conducted through Lockheed's Ignite business unit and will include launches via Firefly Aerospace's Alpha rocket. The company is focusing on supporting missile defense initiatives like the Golden Dome architecture and the Missile Defense Agency's Next-Generation Interceptor program.
