Lockheed Martin unveils new hypersonic missile to be carried by F-35

The new multirole, multiplatform Mako missile can be employed against targets both on land and at sea, making it a very versatile weapon that can be used in multiple mission sets.

Lockheed Martin, in partnership with CoAspire, unveiled the new Mako multi-mission hypersonic missile during this week’s Sea Air Space 2024 exposition. Initially developed with internal funding for the U.S. Air Force Stand In Attack Weapon (SiAW) program, the company is now pitching the weapon to the U.S. Navy to be employed also by carrier-based aircraft.
