🇺🇸⚡️ — The U.S. Department of Defense is seeking a next-generation surface-to-air missile designed to counter small drones at long range. The missile is expected to cost less than $150,000 per round, according to Defense News.

The Next-Generation C-UAS Missile (NGCM) program aims to develop a low-cost, radar-guided interceptor capable of engaging Group 2 and Group 3 unmanned aerial systems (UAS) at ranges exceeding 16 km (10 miles), with a long-term objective of extending that range to more than 25 km (15.5 miles).

The missile must be compatible with existing Coyote launchers and modern U.S. air defense radars, while also providing a more weather-resistant alternative to laser-based air defense systems.

The U.S. Army plans to begin field testing prototype missiles by the end of fiscal year 2027 and have 50 missiles available for operational evaluation by early 2028. The long-term objective is to procure 5,000 missiles.
