Technical characteristics of the latest NGI missile, which will strengthen the American air defense system, have been revealed

The American company Northrop Grumman is taking a revolutionary step in the development of missile technologies by starting preparations for testing its latest Next-Generation Interceptor (NGI) interceptor missile. The developers plan to implement the plan using the MBRV-11 (Medium Ballistic Reentry Vehicle) test model. This is reported by Defense Blog.

According to the report, the NGI is part of the US missile defense system, which is designed to replace the current Ground-Based Interceptors interceptor missiles. This system is capable of effectively countering new threats, including hypersonic missiles and missiles with multiple warheads.

MBRV-11 is used as a test target to simulate ballistic threats, which allows you to check the accuracy and reliability of NGI in real conditions. According to Northrop Grumman representatives, these tests are a key stage in the development of a new defense system that will provide enhanced security for the United States and its allies.

The first tests with MBRV-11 are planned for 2025, and NGI itself should reach operational readiness by the end of the decade. It is known that the missile has received advanced sensors and an updated guidance system, which makes it capable of intercepting complex targets at long distances.

The project is an important step in the modernization of defense technologies, and its successful implementation can significantly increase the ability of the United States and NATO to respond to new challenges in the field of global security.
