The LRSO initiative serves as a cornerstone of the nation’s strategic modernization efforts, intended to phase out the aging Air-Launched Cruise Missile currently in service. By equipping the B-52 with advanced standoff capabilities, the Air Force aims to maintain long-range strike effectiveness against modern, evolving defense threats. V2X will oversee the production of the necessary carriage hardware to ensure the missile system is fully compatible with the bomber.
