(Image: Lockheed Martin) WASHINGTON – The U.S. Navy and Air Force signed a contract last month for dozens of Long-Range Anti-Ship Missiles, a closely watched program that seems to introduce a new sophisticated guidance system into lethal ship-killing missiles. The $414 million deal buys 137 LRASMs, support equipment, systems engineering, logistics and training support, Lockheed Martin spokesman Joe Monaghen said in an email. LRASM has a published range of about 300 nautical miles, is jam resistant, and designed to locate targets with onboard sensors rather than relying on guidance from another source such as a drone’s sensors or another ship. The missile is also difficult to detect.

In 2021, The Pentagon Wants to Buy More Long-Range Weapons

The U S Navy s Big 2021 Weapons Wishlist

The U.S. Navy s Big 2021 Weapons Wishlist The Navy wants higher numbers of longer range, high-speed precision weapons to be ready for the next war The Navy wants higher numbers of longer range, high-speed precision weapons to be ready for the next war, to include missiles, attack platforms, guns and non-kinetic weapons such as EW and cyberwar assets.  The reason would seem clear enough, as it likely pertains to the massive military modernization and weapons enhancement taking place in places like China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, among others.  While certainly a need or interest in modernizing weapons would not seem unusual, new or surprising in any way, yet the recent calls for an accelerated or stepped-up effort do seem constitute an interesting potential shift, if even a small one.
