Missile Defense Agency awards Long Wall $75 million for Cyclops interceptor

Original: Missile Defense Agency awards startup Long Wall $75 million for Cyclops interceptor flight testing

The US Missile Defense Agency has awarded startup Long Wall a $75 million contract to fund flight testing of its Cyclops interceptor. The deal marks a significant endorsement for the young defence company and supports US efforts to accelerate development of new missile defense technologies. Industry observers note the award shows the agency's willingness to fund emerging firms rather than only established defence contractors.

Why now: A large defence contract going to a startup highlights the Pentagon's push to bring new players into missile defense development.
