USAF FAMM program for mass-produced low-cost cruise missiles (250–500 mi)

The U.S. Air Force is establishing framework agreements for the Family of Affordable Mass Missiles (FAMM) to procure thousands of low-cost cruise missiles (e.g., Anduril Barracuda-500, CoAspire RAACM, Zone 5 Rusty Dagger). The innovation is the shift to mass, affordable standoff munitions—including palletized airlifter-dropped and aircraft-carried variants—aimed at enabling high-volume strikes at a fraction of traditional JASSM costs.
