Two operational programs sit at the frontier of what non-kinetic warfare can reach. Talon LURCHER is designed to deliver non-kinetic effects against targets moving faster than Mach 20. At those speeds, data latency in the track and fire control loop makes conventional targeting geometry unreliable before a solution can even be computed. LURCHER develops and integrates technology specifically designed to close that gap, enabling consistent and accurate delivery of effects to fast-moving, long-range targets, and serving as the key technical enabler to properly aim the weapon system at hypersonic threats.

Talon UPCYCLE operates in a different domain entirely. Using Compass Call SPEAR Gen 3 pods, it develops tactical counter-space EW systems capable of degrading, denying, disrupting, and deceiving adversary SIGINT and IFTU satellites in proliferated low Earth orbit. An aircraft that has spent decades dismantling adversary ground networks is now being extended into space. Electromagnetic Battle Management connects all of it to the force with real-time spectrum situational awareness, targeting Early Operational Capability in early FY2028.

Key Points
  • DARPA published a special notice on May 29, announcing the forthcoming PINPOINT program to develop revolutionary GPS-independent inertial navigation sensors, with a formal solicitation expected soon.
  • PINPOINT will pursue nonlinear mechanical dynamics and advanced surface materials to break the decade-long performance plateau of low-cost MEMS inertial measurement units used in military platforms.

DARPA Program Targets Flexible Propulsion​

The companies were selected for the second phase of DARPA’s Burn n’ Go program, which is centered on developing a composable solid rocket motor architecture. Unlike conventional rocket motors designed for a single mission profile, the proposed system would allow thrust adjustments after manufacturing, enabling broader operational use from a common propulsion platform.

According to Raytheon, the project builds on a seven-month first phase that demonstrated the feasibility of the propulsion concept. The next stage will focus on scaling the technology and conducting demonstrations in progressively more realistic motor configurations.
