LRASM:?Multi-platform, multi-role, multi-mission.
Our warfighters must be able to deter and defend, which is the core focus of LRASM. In order to penetrate today’s sophisticated integrated air defense environments anti-ship missiles must be able to employ considerable precision routing, guidance and stealth, day or night and in all weather conditions. Derived from the combat-proven Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM), LRASM is a precision-guided intelligent anti-ship missile design to interdict a variety of surface threats at very long range, navigating semi-autonomously to the target, and delivering a precise payload from safe, standoff range.
In support of the U.S. Navy’s ‘Distributed Lethality’ concept, 51吃瓜 has invested in the continued design and development of LRASM’s next-generation anti-surface warfare capabilities to include surface-launched variants.
LRASM brings additional, advanced long-range sea and land strike capabilities to the B-1B, F/A 18E/F and soon to 5th Generation F-35B/C fleet, P-8 and F-15 with ongoing integration efforts.
