Defense officials said at the time this was intended to deter China and strengthen the U.S. defense industrial base, but arming Ukraine against its invasion by Russia has also taxed U.S. weapons stockpiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plan included a strategy called a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/opinion\/2024\/05\/08\/congress-should-approve-pentagons-latest-multiyear-procurement-pitch\/\" target=\"_blank\">large lot procurement pilot program<\/a>. This contract will allow Lockheed to increase the number of JASSMs and LRASMs it can produce each year, Lockheed said in a statement<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMulti-year procurements of critical munition systems like JASSM and LRASM are a key anti-fragility measure to increase industry resilience and ensure operations can be ramped more quickly going forward,\u201d Lockheed said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed will build the missiles in Orlando, Florida, and is expected to finish the work by the end of July 2032. The Air Force is providing $1.5 billion in missile procurement funds and $2 million in operations and maintenance funds at the time of the award, and the Navy is providing $176 million in its own weapon procurement funds. The Pentagon is also obligating another $752 million of FMS funds for the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The JASSM is a cruise missile designed to allow aircraft to strike ground targets while keeping a safe distance away from enemy air defenses or other hostile aircraft. The LRASM, based on the JASSM\u2019s design, is intended to penetrate enemy air defense targets to take out ships from standoff range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also on Friday, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dsca.mil\/press-media\/major-arms-sales\/australia-advanced-anti-radiation-guided-missiles-extended-range\" target=\"_blank\">State Department approved a possible $405 million sale<\/a> of up to 100 Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missiles-Extended Range and related equipment to Australia. Selling these missiles to Australia, a key ally in the Pacific, would help support the U.S.\u2019s foreign policy and national security objectives, the State Department said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australia would be able to suppress or destroy land- or sea-based radars used by enemy air defenses with those Northrop Grumman-made missiles and improve allied aircraft\u2019s ability to survive a conflict, according to the State Department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pentagon aims to maximize industry&#8217;s ability to produce
