The U.S. Air Force and U.S. defense contractor Lockheed Martin successfully test fired two production configuration Long-Range Anti-Ship Missiles (LRASM) from a B-1B Lancer long-range strategic bomber over Point Mugu Sea Range in California this month, Lockheed Martin said in a May 23 statement.

According to the company, it was the second time that it demonstrated hitting a moving ship with two LRASMs at once. “The missiles navigated through all planned waypoints, transitioned to mid-course guidance and flew toward the moving maritime target using inputs from the onboard sensors,” according to Lockheed Martin. “The missiles then positively identified the intended target and impacted successfully.”
