U.S. Army Picks Five Firms for Maritime Strike Missile Prototype
Original: U.S. Army Picks 5 to Prototype Long-range Maritime Strike Missile
The U.S. Army has selected five contractors to prototype a long-range maritime strike missile, a capability traditionally associated with the Navy and Air Force. The move signals the Army's push into long-range anti-ship firepower as part of broader Pentagon planning for a potential Pacific conflict. Details on the companies, timelines and funding have not yet been fully disclosed.
Why now: The Army taking on an anti-ship missile role marks a notable shift in U.S. military service responsibilities amid rising focus on a potential conflict with China.
