LRASM and some others are an interesting test case because they are happening in parallel to production line capacity increase (CAPEX) and additional orders for the parent JASSM missile (USN now buying it starting FY-22). That said, about 250 or so missiles would have been on order or delivered through FY-22, and we could expect a steady program of about 60-70 orders a year from FY-23. There are limits to how much they can ramp up w/o impacting JASSM inventory plans but it is possible in the long term to reach closer to 100 orders/deliveries a year. NSM likewise will probably pick up once they have more platforms. Additional Anti ship capability can be introduced relatively quickly via buying JSM's for the F-35 since Raytheon has the agreements in place to have that assembled in the same facility that is doing the NSM. Additionally, we don't know what the Army's long term plan is with the MRC but that could field a sizable anti-ship capability as well in addition to the multi-domain prSM.
