LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP unveiled the classified AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile on Thursday afternoon, securing a new production agreement with the Pentagon. The next-generation weapon aims to counter advanced long-range air threats from China as defense stockpiles face depletion. The conflict with Iran drained munitions reserves across the United States and allied forces, accelerating the push for precision-strike capabilities.
