Conventional Strike Missile Pushed by Air Force
After failing to garner support to convert submarine-based nuclear ballistic missiles into conventional strike platforms, the U.S. Air Force now is pushing for a so-called Conventional Strike Missile (CSM) that would be based on land and follow a different flight path than ICBMs.
The CSM could be launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base and uses existing commercial or excess military rocket motors for a medium-lift ballistic missile that deploys a hypersonic glide warhead.
