The article mentions the super sonic tomahawk as having the potential to be a gap filler until those two show up. And of course as you can guess, being able to fit in existing tubes. Also if you read between the lines of the article, it looks like the U.S. Navy wanting ( as always… no choice ) wanting to do things on the ultra cheap. If this program gets legs you can just see the words I hate the most in a press release- low risk and warfighter.
You mean you’re okay with “transformational”? :diablo:

I suppose everybody needs their entry but I’d hope they’d go with something more capable like RATTLRS or HyFly.

I suppose it might have the advantage of being cheaper than some the Hypersonic offers.
