Homeland defense interceptor defeats ballistic missile in test

Missile Defense Agency sees successful takedown using an upgraded Ground-Based Interceptor for homeland missile defense of a ballistic missile target.

A long-range ground-based interceptor is launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, on Sept. 12, 2021. This was the first flight test of a three-stage booster operating in two-stage mode meaning the third stage was not ignited, allowing earlier release of the kill vehicle providing increased battlespace for the warfighter.

SUU-67/A Pylon Modification for Advanced Weapons | SBIR.gov

www.sbir.gov www.sbir.gov

OBJECTIVE: This proposal seeks to study, engineer, and prototype a modified SUU-67/A Pylon with MIL-STD-1760 aircraft interface. AFGSC is developing a new conventional High Speed, Air-breathing cruise missile capable of range >1000 miles. Such a missile carried by the B-52 will likely exceded the capacity of the existing conventional weapons pylon and Heavy Stores Adapter Beam (HSAB). AFGSC is exploring other means of missile carriage on the B-52. One option is repurposing the existing SUU-67/A Aircraft Pylon for conventional use. The SUU-67/A is currently used to carry the AGM-86/B Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM).
