Defense agencies worldwide are increasingly investing in military modernization programs aimed at upgrading their weapon systems and capabilities to maintain strategic superiority and addressing the evolving security challenges. As a result, advanced guided munitions that offer enhanced lethality, versatility, and reliability are gaining traction. For instance, in June 2021, Saab AB, in cooperation with the U.S. Army and Raytheon Missiles & Defense, demonstrated the new Guided Multipurpose Munition (GMM). This enabled the defense to accurately target and engage various threats including armored vehicles, buildings, bunkers, and personnel.
The integration of missile systems into network-centric warfare architectures enables seamless communication, coordination, and interoperability with other weapon systems, sensors, and control assets. Network-centric warfare integration enhances situational awareness, responsiveness, and effectiveness of missile operations by leveraging real-time data sharing and collaborative engagement capabilities. For instance, in June 2021, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. unveiled Sea Breaker, a fifth-generation long-range, autonomous, precision-guided missile system, enabling significant attack performance against a variety of high-value maritime and land targets.
