The U.S. Navy is developing a modular surface-to-air missile arsenal that will include submarines as launch platforms, according to a defense monitoring channel. The initiative is part of the Naval Modular Missile (NMM) program aimed at revolutionizing surface naval operations.
The Naval Modular Missile (NMM) program represents a shift toward integrating submarine platforms into surface-to-air defense, a capability traditionally limited to surface ships. The report, from a defense monitoring channel, has not been independently confirmed. The Zioneer has previously covered related US Navy modernization efforts, including the Sentinel missile program for nuclear triad modernization (July 14) and the deployment of Tamir-based missile defense in Guam (July 2).
