X-68A LongShot

GA-ASI X-68A LongShot
Follow DA

Developed and funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, LongShot revolutionizes air combat as an uncrewed air-launched interceptor that presses into hostile airspace to employ air-to-air weapons.

Designated X-68A by the U.S. Air Force, LongShot is intended to be host-platform agnostic, providing opportunities to integrate operational variants onto fighters, bombers, or employed as a palletized munition from mobility aircraft. Its ability to be deployed from a standard weapons station on larger aircraft enables every host platform to contribute decisively to air superiority. LongShot is the affordable option, delivering unparalleled stand-in and standoff capabilities – redefining airpower.
