LM’s LRASM tested
Lockheed Martin has flight-tested a production-configuration Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) from a US Air Force B-1B bomber of the 337th Test Squadron over the Sea Range at Point Mugu, California, impacting the maritime target and meeting test objectives. “LRASM is designed to detect and destroy specific targets within groups of ships by employing advanced technologies that reduce dependence on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platforms, network links and GPS navigation in electronic warfare environments. LRASM will play a significant role in ensuring military access to operate in open ocean/blue waters, owing to its enhanced ability to discriminate and conduct tactical engagements from extended ranges.”
