Lockheed Martin moves head with placing hypersonic missiles aboard USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) destroyers

engineers at Lockheed Martin Corp. to start integrating future hypersonic missiles aboard the Navy's three stealthy USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) destroyers. Officials of the Navy Strategic Systems Programs in Washington announced a $22.8 million contract this week to the Lockheed Martin Space Systems segment in Littleton, Colo., for missile production long-lead materials, program management, and system engineering for the Navy Conventional Prompt Strike Weapon System Platform-Specific Development and Production project. Lockheed Martin will integrate hypersonic weapons aboard the destroyers USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000), the USS Michael Monsoor (DDG 1001), and the USS Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG 1002). Long-lead items are difficult and time-consuming to obtain, and are funded early in the design process to keep overall production on schedule. Contracts to build Conventional Prompt Strike weapons will come later. The three Zumwalt-class destroyers are multi-mission stealth ships that focus on land attack, with secondary roles of surface warfare, anti-aircraft warfare, and naval gunfire support. The label destroyer is somewhat of a misnomer because the Zumwalt-class vessels are about the size of small World War II battleships. Installing hypersonic weapons aboard these three vessels is part of the Navy's Conventional Prompt Strike project to launch attacks against targets around the world in less than an hour. The focus is on attacking high-value, or fleeting targets, with extremely fast hypersonic weapons, which can fly faster than five times the speed of sound. uss zumwalt,uss zumwalt inside,uss zumwalt in action,uss zumwalt bridge,zumwalt class,zumwalt class destroyer,us navy,zumwalt,uss zumwalt modern warship,uss zumwalt weapons test,uss zumwalt missiles,uss zumwalt ddg 1000,uss zumwalt (ddg 1000),lockheed martin
