Alliant, Lockheed Martin Awarded Contract For New Navy Missile

Alliant Techsystems and Lockheed Martin were awarded a $9.2 million contract to develop and validate a new submarine-launched missile, according to a recent report.

The contract was awarded as part of the Navy's Submarine-Launched Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile System program.

One salient question would be whether the Navy will use its ballistic missile submarines or its attack submarines to field the new missile.
