Will U.S. Army Missile Buys Mean Fewer U.S. Air Force Bombers?


Steve Trimble
answers: It is fair to say that the U.S. Army is on a missile-buying spree.  Since the signing of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in December 1987, the service’s missile inventory had been limited to the 300-km (186-mi.) range of the MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile System and 70-km range of the M-270 Multiple Launch Rocket System. But the U.S. and Russia withdrew from the treaty on Aug. 2, 2019, freeing the Army to fill the gap in its arsenal for ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles with conventional warheads and ranges between 500-5,000 km.
The baseline version of the Lockheed Martin Precision Strike Missile will enter service in two years with a range of 499 km, but a follow-on version due to be ready in 2025 is expected to have a range up to 800 km.

The first Lockheed Martin F-22, bearing tail number 4001, flew on Sept. 7, 1997, or about 6.5 years after contract award. Finally, Northrop flew the original B-2 on July 17, 1989, or about eight years after winning the contract.   
For the B-21, the Air Force would like to move faster. One clue is in the name of the organization managing the program: the Rapid Capabilities Office. Upon contract award in October 2015, the Air Force also emphasized that the B-21 would mainly leverage existing technologies, in hopes of avoiding lengthy delays caused by high-risk technology glitches. ....
