Lockheed Martin GRIZZLY

Lockheed Martin's GRIZZLY is a containerized missile launcher built to fire Hellfire and JAGM missiles, pitched as a low-cost, mobile point-defense shooter for counter-drone and layered air defense on land or at sea.

Overview

GRIZZLY is a containerized missile launcher developed by Lockheed Martin as a mobile, low-cost shooter for point defense against drones and other short-range threats. It packages a Hellfire- and JAGM-capable launcher inside a standard 10-foot shipping container that holds up to eight missiles and can sit on the ground or on a ship. Lockheed frames GRIZZLY less as a stand-alone weapon than as the effector layer of a wider counter-unmanned-aerial-system (C-UAS) kill chain, tying it to the company's Sanctum battle-management software and to radars from Fortem Technologies, a Utah counter-drone firm Lockheed part-funded in 2026.

The system drew wider attention on June 3, 2026, when Lockheed said it had fired a Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) from the launcher to intercept a Group 3 one-way attack test drone at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona — a target Axios described as Shahed-style. It was the first time the company had knocked down a drone with this combination of container launcher, Sanctum software and Fortem R-40 radars, and Lockheed said the whole chain was integrated and live-fired in under 45 days (Military Times). GRIZZLY is a company-funded prototype and demonstrator, not a fielded program of record, and no operator or production order has been publicly established.
