Lockheed Martin is dedicated to deterring global conflict and supporting the safety of its country and allies. As threats faced by warfighters grow increasingly complex and severe, it is essential to provide them with the necessary tools to complete their missions successfully. This commitment has led to the development of the AGM-158 eXtreme Range (XR) cruise missile, designed to enhance operational capabilities and ensure the safety of those serving.
The AGM-158 XR represents over two decades of expertise in cruise missile development, offering significantly increased standoff attack range while being rapidly producible for the U.S. military. Built on the proven JASSM-ER and LRASM systems, XR provides a low-risk solution that leverages existing production lines and supply chains, enabling faster development and cost efficiency. This streamlined approach allows for the swift integration of advanced capabilities while maintaining compatibility with current military platforms (F/A-18 and the soon to be added F-35).
Looking ahead, Lockheed Martin emphasizes the importance of a Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) to accelerate the delivery of advanced capabilities to warfighters. The MBE facilitates a digital environment that supports the entire lifecycle of missile systems, fostering continuous improvements across the AGM-158 family, including modular designs and rapid upgrades. By prioritizing innovation and efficiency, Lockheed Martin remains committed to enhancing the effectiveness and safety of military operations.
