The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Asked vs spent: the PB2021 book requested $474.4M for FY2021; the PB2023 book reported $373.5M as actual total obligation authority — $100.9M below the request. 373.5 − 474.4 = -100.9 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — LONG RANGE STAND-OFF
The Long Range Stand-Off (LRSO) Cruise Missile is a long-range survivable stand-off weapon capable of delivering lethal nuclear effects on strategic targets. LRSO will replace the currently fielded Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) and will be integrated on both legacy and future bomber aircraft. The LRSO weapon system will be capable of penetrating and surviving advanced Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS) from significant stand-off range to prosecute strategic targets in support of the Air Force's global attack capability and strategic deterrence core function. Funds may be used to address emerging or short-notice Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortage (DMSMS) and supply chain issues. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY24 0.00M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY25 0.00M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. The program is conducting Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) tasks to validate requirements to support Development and Operational Testing, and Production Readiness. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full rate production.

Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.

Oversight
GAO oversight of this program
GAO assessed Long Range Standoff (LRSO) in its June 2025 Weapon Systems Annual Assessment, as an Air Force MDAP program.
“The Air Force is designing the LRSO weapon as a long-range, survivable, nuclear-capable cruise missile to penetrate advanced threat air defense systems. LRSO is slated to replace the Air Launched Cruise Missile. Development of the LRSO cruise missile is managed by the Air Force while the nuclear warhead—the W80-4—is managed by the Department of Energy (DOE). The warhead is undergoing a life-extension program in parallel with the missile's development. When integrated on both a legacy and future bomber, the LRSO weapon is expected to help modernize the bomber segment of the nuclear triad.”

GAO assessed the program, not this budget line. Long Range Standoff Weapon is one of the lines that funds it, and GAO’s work above says nothing about this line’s own figures. Which line each GAO item attaches to is a hand-ratified crosswalk — how it was checked.
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Long Range Standoff Weapon. GAO's program-level work on this line is above. See the DOD oversight record.
