Each award will include a preliminary design assessment of HALO propulsion technology, with the work performance period slated to conclude in December 2024.
The branch funded a project to modernize the Lockheed-built Long Range Anti-Ship Missile system currently in service with the F/A-18 and B-1B aircraft platforms while new weapon development efforts are underway.
