The US Navy’s upgraded Harpoon ship-killer missile in line for a boost from Congress
By: David B. Larter  
WASHINGTON – Planned upgrades to the U.S. Navy’s current anti-ship missile are in line for a big cash windfall courtesy of Capitol Hill.
Boeing’s Harpoon stands to be among the big winners coming out of this week’s National Defense Authorization Act conference after playing a starring role in recent sinking exercises at the Rim of the Pacific Exercise.
The venerable anti-ship missile is being upgraded by Boeing to a Block II+ version, modifications that the House and Senate authorizers backed to the tune of $26.8 million, according to the NDAA conference report. The money must still be appropriated by a separate committee. The House of Representatives passed the NDAA on Thursday. It awaits passage in the Senate and President Trump’s signature.s
