Just saw that Leidos' Small Cruise Missile got the official AGM-190A designation from the Air Force. Pretty interesting move - this thing weighs about 200 pounds and supposedly has a range over 400 nautical miles when tested from a C-130. The modular design is what caught my attention though - they're building it to adapt to different mission needs without a complete redesign. Leidos is framing this as their answer to the Pentagon needing more affordable stand-off strike options. The company's betting on this kind of flexible, scalable approach across their defense portfolio. Makes sense in a competitive landscape where you need systems that can evolve with changing threats. Curious to see how this actually gets deployed or if we hear more about production numbers down the line.
