Toggle open close As part of its long-overdue effort to modernize the U.S. nuclear deterrent, the United States is developing the Long-Range Standoff weapon (LRSO) to maintain the ability of nuclear-capable bombers to hold targets in well-defended areas at risk. The LRSO will replace the Air Force’s current nuclear-armed, air-launched cruise missile (ALCM), the AGM-86B, which has been in service since 1982 and is becoming increasingly obsolete against enemy air defenses. The LRSO will play an important role in maintaining the nuclear triad because it will sustain the nuclear ALCM capability that enables the triad’s critical air leg. Fielding the LRSO will also sustain the nuclear ALCM’s unique attributes that contribute to both the credibility of U.S. deterrence and the United States’ extended deterrence commitments to allies. Finally, the LRSO will provide a hedge against both technical failure in another leg of the triad and an uncertain geopolitical environment. Congress
