Skunk Works Orchestrates Guam’s Unified Missile Shield
Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works is tying together the MRIC, Patriot, and MADIS into a unified C2 network to form Guam’s 360-degree defense shield under the Golden Dome concept, with live-fire tests during Valiant Shield 2026 and Tenacious Archer 2026 and planned Palau tests, as the Army redesignates Task Force Talon as the 3rd Battalion, 43rd ADAR and continues fielding integrated anti-missile capabilities to defend Guam and CNMI from cruise missiles and drones.
