July 30, 2025 | Lockheed MartinEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Lockheed Martin has reached a landmark achievement with the delivery of the 250th MK 48 Guidance and Control (G&C) Section, a critical component of the MK 48 ADCAP torpedo, a powerful and reliable weapon that has been the cornerstone of the US Navy’s and Allies’ submarine arsenal. The Guidance and Control Sections are designed to detect and track threats in real-time, ensuring pinpoint accuracy and lethality in the most high-pressure situations.
The MK 48 Guidance and Control Section, leverages advanced capabilities to engage and eliminate fast-moving, evasive and deep-diving threats with precision. Its advanced processing and algorithms enable a flexible response in complex engagements, allowing the system to adapt in a dynamic undersea environment. This makes the MK 48 Heavyweight Torpedo an indispensable asset in the heat of the battle where split-second decisions mean the difference between success and failure.
“Reaching the production of the 250th MK 48 Guidance and Control Section marks a major milestone in our mission to deliver new torpedoes to the fleet. It’s a fitting achievement that this comes as the US Navy celebrates its 250th birthday this year – a powerful reminder of our enduring commitment to those who serve”, stated Tom Warner, Lockheed Martin, RMS Vice President of Undersea Warfare.
The production of 250 Guidance and Control Sections is a testament to Lockheed Martin’s unrelenting pursuit of excellence and its commitment to supporting the US Navy’s mission. This achievement demonstrates Lockheed Martin’s ability to aggressively revitalize a once-dormant technology, while maintaining the highest standards of quality and performance. As the US Navy continues to evolve and face new challenges, Lockheed Martin remains steadfast in its commitment to providing the advanced technologies and capabilities necessary to maintain its edge in the maritime domain.
