Summary
Lockheed Martin successfully demonstrated its GRIZZLY containerized launcher system by downing a Group 3 one-way attack drone using a Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) during a live-fire test at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona. The system integrated Lockheed's Sanctum counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) battle manager with Fortem R-40 radars for detection, tracking, and engagement. The GRIZZLY launcher is designed to fire both Hellfire and JAGM missiles and borrows design elements from Lockheed's M299 launcher.
