First tactical configuration LRASM launch from B-1B

Lockheed Martin announced that the first tactical configuration Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) launch from a B-1B has taken place on Aug. 17.

Released over the Point Mugu Sea Range, the missile “navigated through all planned waypoints, transitioned to mid-course guidance and flew toward the moving maritime target using inputs from the onboard multimodal sensor. The missile then descended to low altitude for final approach to target area, positively identified and impacted the target.”
