Lockheed Martin AGM-158 JASSM/LRASM

The acquisition of the cruise missile helps Australia recover some of the long range striking power that the RAAF lost when the F-111Cs retired in 2011.

Benefits of bulk buys; VC-25 replacement delayed; Embraer’s European pitch; and Boeing to fly new prototype on WGS-11 satellite.

The Defense Department Comptroller recently posted a series of multiyear procurement estimates on its fiscal 2024 budget information website.

Officials are wrestling with how to manage and sustain a historic surge in demand for tactical missiles.

The U.S. Navy's so-called "hypersonic" missile will actually fly at maximum speeds below Mach 5.

The acquisition plans, detailed April 3, are a component of the country’s €14.8 billion ($16.1 billion) increase in defense spending between 2022 and 2025.

The U.S. Navy wants an increase in critical, long-range munitions.

Budget justification documents released by the Navy on May 29 list the Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) and the Supersonic Propulsion Enabled Advanced Ramjet (SPEAR) demonstrators as candidates for the Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare (OASuW) Increment II program.

An expected order for Lockheed Martin AGM-158C anti-ship missiles has been approved, according to a strategy policy issued July 1.

Australia’s request to buy the missiles implies it has chosen the AGM-158C for project Air 3023 Phase 1.
