During the Balikatan 2025 military exercise, Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Army conducted a virtual demonstration to showcase joint integrated fires by connecting current and next-generation technologies. This marked the first demonstration of its kind within the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command’s area of responsibility.
On May 5, 2025, as part of the Maritime Strike mission, the Lockheed Martin and U.S. Army team successfully shared targeting data across multiple platforms, enabling the in-flight redirection of a simulated rocket to strike a moving surface target. This achievement is a major advancement toward providing the U.S. Army with the capability to engage moving and maritime targets using the HIMARS system.
Integrating diverse offensive and defensive systems not originally built to work together enhances flexibility and agility on the battlefield.
This milestone lays the groundwork for developing a multi-domain missile capable of both offensive and defensive applications.
Data-linked targeting could allow the Army to engage mobile targets without the need for costly onboard seekers.
The test is part of Lockheed Martin’s broader efforts to combine existing assets with advanced 21st Century Security® technologies to support fast, data-driven decisions across all domains.
