Rapid Dragon is a palletized and disposable weapons module that is airdropped before deploying flying munitions, typically cruise missiles, from unmodified cargo planes. Developed by the United States Air Force and Lockheed, the airdrop-rigged pallets, called “deployment boxes,“ provide a low-cost method allowing unmodified cargo planes, such as C-130 or C-17 aircraft, to be temporarily repurposed as standoff bombers capable of mass launching any variant of long or short range AGM-158 JASSM cruise missiles against land or naval targets.
The size of the deployment boxes is configurable to fit mission or dropship dimensions supporting the launch; ranging from four to 45 AGM-158 JASSM-ER cruise missiles to strike targets at a range of 925 km (575 mi) to 1,900 km (1,200 mi) when large numbers of JASSM-XR become available in 2024.
The system has been successfully used with C-130 and C-17 cargo planes to strike both land and sea targets with armed and test-version JASSM-ERs. Future development will generalize the system beyond the AGM-158 missile family to include JDAM bombs, sea mines, drones, and other missile systems as well as integrate the launch system into use on other supporting cargo and non-cargo aircraft.
