Next-Generation Railgun Demonstrates Hypersonic Interception — Striking Targets at Mach 6 and Beyond A new generation of electromagnetic railgun technology is pushing missile defense into hypersonic territory. The system uses powerful electromagnetic forces to launch solid projectiles at speeds over six times the speed of sound, enabling rapid interception of incoming missiles without explosives or chemical propellants. Unlike conventional guns or missile interceptors, railguns convert massive e

We delivered supersonic flight, autonomous aircraft, missile defense, AI-driven command and Moon-ready space systems—all in one quarter. We move faster. We build smarter. And we put America’s mission first, every time. | Lockheed Martin
