LONG RANGE STAND-OFF

Abstract

The Long Range Stand-Off (LRSO) Cruise Missile is a long-range survivable stand-off weapon capable of delivering lethal nuclear effects 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 Sources and Material Shortage (DMSMS) and supply chain issues. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY23 $0.00M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY24 $0.00M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. The program is conducting Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) tasks to validate requirements to support Development and Operational Testing, and Production Readiness. 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.
