Reacher’s “Little Wing” Is An Experimental Missile
“Little Wing” is a special type of software
The end ofReacherseason 2 ’s third episode saw the 110th perform a raid on New Age . They stole various files and intemperate drives and discovered their missing friend Tony Swan ( Shannon Kook)alsoworks at New Age . While digging through the recovered documents , they find references to " Little Wing , " a federal defense contract being worked on by New Age , which has the support of a senator called Lavoy . Reacher ( Alan Ritchson ) and O’Donnell ( Shaun Sipos ) soon interrogate the senator ’s legislative director Boyd ( Kyle Mac ) , who reveals"Little Wing " is the codename for an experiment piece of anti - missile engineering .
It was originally designed as a means of protecting commercial aircraft from fire , but New Age soon proposed the tech could be placedinsidemissiles instead . New Age reduce the technology down so it could used in shoulder - fire control surface - to - gentle wind missiles . The way the projectile works is that it intentionally overshoots the aircraft it ’s fired at , before " Little Wing " recalibrates in the air and hits the fair game from above . Boyd arrogate " Little Wing " is so effective that it hits its fair game 100 percent of the time , so once it ’s fired , there ’s no stopping it . In short , " Little Wing " can , as Boyd ominiously states , " criticize anything out of the sky . "
Which Reacher Characters Are Involved In Little Wing (& How)
Is Swan really working with Langston and AM?
Given that he ’s taste his level near to wipe out Reacher and the other survivors of the 110th in every episode so far , it ’s no shock to learn Langston is involve with " Little Wing " Specifically , Langston is planning to deal " Little Wing " equipped missiles to AM , who will then supply them to terrorist formation . AM himself appears to have little to no political orientation to speak of , so his involvement with the project begins and stop with buying them from Langston .
New Age Director of Operations Marlo Burns ( Christina Cox ) is also likely involved on some tier . In the premature sequence , Burns supplied Neagley ( Maria Sten ) and Dixon ( Serinda Swan ) with an reference that turned out to be an ambush designed to wipe out the 110th . Whether or not Burns was force to give them this address is a mystery , but private emails between Swan and Burns suggest the former was seek to flag something grave about the " Little Wing " task to her . This suggests the two may have been working together to halt Langston .
Amazon Prime Video ’s Reacher time of year 2 is largely faithful to the source material , but lease some shore leave with Lee Child ’s Bad Luck and Trouble .
That leaves the expectant inquiry mark of Swan ’s involvement . Swan is part of New Age and has gone missing , but the rest of the team - Reacher apart - believe he has gone rogue and is working with Langston . If Swanisn’tinvolved , it ’s almost certain that Langston had him killed too , but if he ’s part of the " Little Wing " sales agreement , he ’s the hundred-and-tenth biggest threat . Considering Reacher himself recruited Swan to the team and he does n’t want to believe he could be involve , there ’s still Bob Hope Swan has n’t turned against his old building block . Being part of New Age on any level is n’t a groovy flavour , however , nor is his disappearance .

Reacher and O’Donnell presently point out that " Little Wing " could easily be used to spud commercial aircraft out of the sky too , but Boyd claims that since they " own " the tech , that ’s not a possibility . Expect , of course , that once Langston discharge the cut-rate sale with AM , that’sexactlywhat ’s go to go on .
Neagley later states the weapon has the potential to cause another 9/11 , and since there is no defense against these missiles and they can be fired from a articulatio humeri - mount launcher , they hold vast destructive voltage . If terrorist mathematical group managed to get grasp of " Little Wing " equip projectile , the loss of life would be staggering . Now the 110th jazz what the threat is they can take steps to prevent the sale , but their little slaying closed book has blossom into a much grievous mission .
