Developed and funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, LongShot is an uncrewed air-launched interceptor designed to operate inside hostile airspace and employ air-to-air weapons.
Designated X-68A by the U.S. Air Force, LongShot is intended to be host-platform agnostic, allowing operational variants to be integrated with fighters and bombers or deployed as a palletized munition from mobility aircraft. Its ability to launch from a standard weapons station on larger aircraft allows each host platform to contribute to air superiority operations. LongShot is an affordable option that provides both stand-in and standoff capabilities for air combat operations.
