US Missile Defense Agency or MDA has taken a major decision.
Lockheed Martin has won a $17 billion contract to develop the next generation of interceptors to defend the United States against an intercontinental ballistic missile attack, the U.S. Missile Defense Agency said on Monday.
The interceptor program is aimed at defeating current ballistic missile threats and future technological advances from countries such as North Korea and Iran.
The multi-year missile contract covers the development of the Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) to modernize the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) program.
