미공군이 레이시온과 LRSO 미사일 공정·제작 계약
체결 했다네요.
LRSO는 스텔스 미사일이고 2027년에 공정·제작
단계가 완료돼 양산 준비 입증할 거라 하구요.
또, B-52에 탑재 되는 사거리 2500km AGM-86
공대지 순항미사일을 대체 할 거라네요,
미공군은 LRSO 1천발내지 1천1백발을 108억
달러에 살 계획이라는데 현 환율과 1천발 기준으로
119억원 정도죠.
USAF awards Raytheon $2bn for next stage of LRSO nuclear cruise missile programme
2021.07.03
The US Air Force (USAF) has awarded Raytheon a $2 billion contract
to start the engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) phase
of the Long Range Standoff (LRSO) nuclear cruise missile programme.
Raytheon was given a sole-source contract for its stealthy cruise
missile design in 2020 after the USAF ended the LRSO acquisition
competition one year early, before the technology maturation and
risk phase was complete.
The LRSO is to replace the AGM-86 Air-Launched Cruise Missile
(ALCM), the service’s current nuclear-tipped weapon.
The USAF wants to operate the ALCM through 2030.
“During the EMD phase, manufacturing processes will continue
to mature and the manufacturing environment will be demonstrated
and transitioned to a pilot line readiness state,” says the USAF in a
contract notice posted on 2 July. “The objective at the end of EMD
is to demonstrate full production readiness.”
The EMD phase is expected to be complete by February 2027,
says the service.
The USAF has said that it plans to buy 1,000 to 1,100 LRSO missiles
for about $10.8 billion.
