The Lockheed team recently announced that it completed its first flight software package for its NGI offering, indicating that its interceptor is taking steps toward being ready for its first test flight. Both Lockheed Martin and Northrop-Raytheon have been competing for the opportunity to produce the NGI. While many of the specifics are likely proprietary or unavailable for security reasons, the new NGI will likely have multi-kill vehicles or a single missile that releases several interceptors to destroy numerous threats. Notably, this kind of technique, which has been developed by major industry innovators for years, is intended to distinguish between threats and decoys, and countermeasures.
