US LCCM program pushes containerized cruise missiles and maritime-strike variants

The Pentagon’s 10,000+ Low-Cost Containerized Missiles order highlights a shift toward mass-produced, container-launched cruise missiles with planned maritime-strike sensors and variants (e.g., Anduril SLB-500M, CoAspire GHOST/RAACM ER). The article also describes planned integration on USVs and potential low-cost hypersonic Blackbeard deployments from carrier aviation and unmanned surface vessels, expanding distributed anti-ship strike options.
