Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control indicate that they use a number of technologies for OpFires, which are used, in particular, in HIMARS systems. The new missiles will accelerate the LRHW units, after which they will hit enemy targets on an unpredictable trajectory at hypersonic speed, while remaining invulnerable to air defense systems.
