Is this a Lockheed bird? I was watching a show on the History channel once
that talked about the ramjet drones that flew faster than the missles that
the aircraft were using to try an knock them down.

That's the AQM-60 "Kingfisher." There's more information at

http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-60.html

It was a Lockheed missile, and developed out of Lockheed's X-7.
designation-systems.net says it was too successful for its own good,
and cancelled because it was almost impossible for American SAMs
to hit it during tests. It had a top speed of Mach 4.3 and a maximum
altitude of 100,000 feet (30,000 meters).
