TYSONS CORNER, VA, June 29, 2018 — Lockheed Martin’s (NYSE: LMT) Joint Air-to-Ground Missile has received a “milestone C” decision from the Defense Department’s defense acquisition board, allowing the company to commence the low-rate initial production of the weapon system, ExecutiveBiz reported Thursday.
