The latest press release mentioned that the company “has taken the missile from concept to flight in just 26 months since the initial contract award in 2023,” meaning that the test might have taken place anytime between December 2025 and January 2026, depending on when the work started. According to the company, the flight validated core interceptor subsystems and represented a significant maturation of the design in a relatively short timeframe. The company also reiterates that the weapon is designed to be highly effective against unmanned aerial systems, rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft, while claiming that “NGSRI more than doubles the capability of the legacy system.”
