Pentagon seeks approval for Air Force, Navy common ICBM fuze component buy

The Defense Department is seeking congressional approval to buy commercial-off-the-shelf components for the Air Force's intercontinental ballistic missile fuze modernization effort -- an approach that could save about $206 million by leveraging common development between the Air Force and Navy.
 
WASHINGTON: One of the most controversial new weapons in the US arsenal, the Long Range Standoff cruise missile (LRSO), meant to replace the Air Launched Cruise Missile, came under direct fire by a top Senate defense and intelligence lawmaker, Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

The senior California senator holds seats both on the Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee and the Senate Intelligence Committee and is respected on both sides of the aisle for her command of the facts. Why did she question Defense Secretary Jim Mattis so closely during a Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee hearing about a proposed nuclear weapon that, at first glance, seems to be a replacement of an existing system?

“I believe it is in fact a new nuclear weapon,” Feinstein told Mattis, saying much of what informed her opinion was classified. “It’s got features which concern me greatly. I don’t see it as an effective deterrent weapon. I see Russia taking action to counter it.” And, just to make sure Mattis understood she really did have a problem with its development, she added that LRSO’s “cost is going to be inordinate.”

Of course, one lawmaker’s inordinate cost may be another’s irreplaceable deterrence tool. Mattis is not yet in either camp. Back in January, Mattis signaled he harbored doubts about the need for LRSO. “I need to look at that one.” he said then. “My going in position is that it makes sense, but I have to look at it in terms of its deterrence capability.”

LRSO is in the early stages of development, but it is already slated to get $451 million in 2018.
