Lockheed Martin Completes Mk21A Reentry Flight Test

Air Force, completed a flight test of the Mk21A reentry vehicle at Vandenberg Space Force Base. The test integrated real flight data with high-fidelity digital modeling and simulation to validate design maturity and system performance. Digital engineering techniques reduced reliance on physical testing, improving development efficiency and design confidence. Flight data will be directly applied to subsequent design improvements and critical design review (CDR) preparation.
