Lockheed Martin Demonstrates First Sanctum C-UAS Launch from GRIZZLY System

June 03, 2026
Lockheed Martin successfully intercepted a Group 3 test drone using a Joint Air to Ground Missile launched from its GRIZZLY containerized launcher, marking the first demonstration of the Sanctum Counter Unmanned Aerial System in this configuration.

Lockheed Martin announced in a press release that it has successfully intercepted a Group 3 one-way attack test drone using a Joint Air to Ground Missile launched from a GRIZZLY containerized launcher for the first time.

The test used the Sanctum Counter Unmanned Aerial System battle manager and Fortem R-40 Radars to detect, track, and engage the target drone. The demonstration showed the integration of these systems working together for a complete intercept sequence.

The GRIZZLY launcher is built on existing prototype architecture and allows operators to deploy the ready-to-fire Sanctum C-UAS system without requiring extensive infrastructure or logistics. Lockheed Martin stated that the integration is designed to protect forward operating bases, key assets, and maritime platforms.
