Lockheed Martin Successful in Boosted Penetrator Test
Lockheed Martin has demonstrated a boosted penetrator warhead with a long-range cruise missile that can be used against hard and deeply buried targets.

In operation, the missile would carry the warhead from long ranges against a target. In the terminal phase, just before reaching the target, the warhead would be expelled from the nose of the missile, when a booster would ignite to propel the warhead to high velocity and impact on the target.
