DAGR Missile Successful In First Live Warhead Shot
Lockheed Martin has successfully conducted the first live warhead ground launch test of the DAG guidance kit for the 2.75-inch rocket. DAGR is now 12-for-12 in contractor-funded flight tests.

Conducted at Eglin Air Force Base, FL, the latest test demonstrated DAGR’s vehicle penetration and time-delayed fuzing feature. Lockheed Martin engineers fired a DAGR-equipped rocket armed with a live warhead at a stationary vehicle. It successfully penetrated the side of the vehicle before detonating inside.
