The Youtube below reports on the future Long Range Stand Off Weapon (LRSO). The LRSO:
Program is for a W80 mod 4 nuclear-tipped air-launched cruise missile that can penetrate and survive integrated air defense systems and other strategic targets. Such high intensity conflicts might include Russia, China, North Korea and maybe Iran.
The LRSO will replace the AGM-86 ALCM. The LRSO is under development by Raytheon
and Lockheed Martin each under US$900 million DoD/USAF contract. The contracts terminate in 2022, when the DoD will pick the winner for further development.
The LRSO will be carried by the B-52, B-2, future B-21. and smaller US aircraft including the F-22 and F-35.
