The Air Force wants ERAMs to be quickly built to bolster its ability to deter enemies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMoving from a contract to a live-fire demonstration in under two years proves we can deliver lethal, cost-effective capability at the speed of relevance,\u201d Brig. Gen. Robert Lyons III, the Air Force\u2019s weapons portfolio acquisition executive, said in a Jan. 30 statement. \u201cThis is how we rebuild our military \u2014 by empowering our teams and industry partners to cut through bureaucracy and deliver the tools our warfighters need to prevail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The test was conducted at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, and involved the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center\u2019s Armament Directorate, the 96th Test Wing and industry partners, the Air Force said. The Air Force said the test met all primary objectives, including a full detonation of its warhead. The data Eglin\u2019s engineers collected will be used to help further refine and mature the ERAM design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe future fight demands we create an asymmetric advantage by developing cost-effective, attritable systems like ERAM that give commanders the ability to generate mass,\u201d Brig. Gen. Mark Massaro, commander of the 96th, said. \u201cThis test is a critical milestone on this path.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. government has authorized the sale of ERAMs to Ukraine to strengthen its arsenal. In August 2025, the State Department announced up to 3,350 ERAMs, as well as embedded GPS and navigation systems, had been approved for sale to Ukraine for about $825 million.
