General Atomics shows F/A-18-launched missile dispensing seven Vektrex guided submunitions

Published 6 November 2026

At Euronaval 2026 General Atomics displayed a concept for an air-launched carrier missile fired from an F/A-18E/F Super Hornet that releases up to seven Vektrex maneuvering submunitions independently against separate targets. Vektrex — a folding-wing guided munition originally designed for 155 mm artillery, and previously shown integrated into PrSM and GMLRS — can engage moving targets in GPS-degraded conditions. The air-launch carrier is a new configuration; the carrier rocket type was not disclosed.
