- Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Air Force completed a flight test of the unarmed developmental Mk21A reentry vehicle.
- The test supports development of the future Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile system.
- Flight data will guide design refinements and further testing ahead of a system-level critical design review.
Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Air Force completed a flight test of the unarmed developmental Mk21A reentry vehicle, according to a Lockheed Martin newsroom release published on November 4. The company said the test took place over the Pacific after launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
Test advances Sentinel development
The Mk21A is designed as the next-generation integrated reentry vehicle for the U.S. Air Force's future Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile system. The test vehicle was unarmed and represented a developmental configuration rather than a complete missile launch.
Lockheed Martin said the flight demonstrated the maturity of the vehicle's architecture and helped validate next-generation reentry technologies. Data from the flight is expected to support design refinements and future tests as the program moves toward a system-level Critical Design Review.
