Lockheed Martin has begun marketing to export customers a new technology that adapts advanced strike weaponsto existing aircraft interfaces, reducing integration costs and time by changing weapon software instead of aircraft software. The technology has been demonstrated by modifying the operational flight program software of Lockheed’s Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile work with the F-16’s Joint Stand-Off Weapon interface, making the aircraft believe it is carrying and launching the latter store.
