The Air Force started a program to expand the US arsenal of nuclear missiles. They gave Lockeed Martin and Raytheon $900 million to make a cruise missile for a B-52 bomber plane. This missile is the "Long Range Standoff" weapon. This weapon would serve as a replacement to the AGM-86B missile. As this is all occurring, the Pentagon is working to know how to deliver the missiles just in case the situation occurred.
