USAF contract expands JASSM/LRASM buys incl. new LRASM-ER and JASSM-XR

The USAF plans a major ramp-up in JASSM and LRASM procurement (up to ~11,200 missiles) and production capacity, including newer variants LRASM-ER and JASSM-XR. These variants are described as adding updated sensors, secured datalinks, and newer anti-spoofing/survivability features, indicating an incremental but meaningful capability upgrade alongside industrial-scale fielding.
