Officials of the Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal, Ala., announced a $670.5 million contract to DTS last week to build the common hypersonic glide body and thermal protection system. DTS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos Dynetics.
The Army hired DTS to produce the first commercially manufactured set of common hypersonic glide body systems. DTS is working with Lockheed Martin Corp. to support integration and prototyping of the new common hypersonic glide body, which is expected to be available across military services to provide commonality to air-, land-, and sea-launched hypersonic weapons.
