The US Navy (USN) is accelerating its sole-source acquisition of the Lockheed Martin Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) to meet the air-launched Increment 1 of its Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare (OASuW) programme.
LRASM is a joint Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Office of Naval Research programme designed to prove the concept of an autonomous, precision-guided anti-ship stand-off missile. Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control - Strike Weapons was selected in 2009 to demonstrate its air-launched concept, which leverages the basic design of the AGM-158B Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile Extended Range (JASSM-ER) while introducing additional sensors and systems specific to the offensive anti-surface warfare mission.
