LONG RANGE STAND-OFF

Abstract

The Long Range Stand Off (LRSO) Cruise Missile is a long range survivable standoff weapon capable of delivering lethal nuclear effect on strategic targets. LRSO will replace the currently fielded Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) and will be integrated on both legacy and future bomber aircraft. The LRSO weapon system will be capable of penetrating and surviving advanced Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS) from significant stand-off range to prosecute strategic targets in support of the Air Force's global attack capability and strategic deterrence core function. Funds may be used to address emerging or short-notice Diminishing Manufacturing and Material Shortage (DMSMS) issues. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Long Range Stand-Off (LRSO) weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F or 0605833F. This program is conducting activities associated with engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements during the Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) phase. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full rate production.
