Engineered to See Earlier
In today’s world, missile threats are evolving and increasingly complex. With hypersonic weapons, time to detect, share data and act is rapidly decreasing. The advantage starts with the earliest possible threat detection and classification. The advantage begins in space with Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared Geosynchronous (Next Gen OPIR GEO).
Lockheed Martin's Next Gen OPIR GEO will provide persistent, global missile warning & tracking, advancing space-based awareness for a more secure tomorrow. Faster detection. Faster identification. Unmatched warning when every second counts.
The Next Era of Missile Warning and Tracking
Building on the proven legacy of Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS), Next Gen OPIR GEO advances decades of missile warning and tracking heritage with a more survivable architecture, greater resiliency and enhanced sensing designed for the next generation of missile warning.

Built to Connect
Space to ground.
Next Gen OPIR GEO works alongside SBIRS, proliferated missile tracking and data transport systems and future polar systems, ensuring information gets to the end user rapidly. Purpose-built to interoperate with FORGE, NGG puts critical information in the hands of decision-makers faster. Featuring expanded data downlinks capable of simultaneously sending information streams to the ground system, Next-Gen OPIR GEO connects detection in orbit with decision advantage on the ground.
