Lockheed Martin successfully completed MK 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS) push-through testing of a simulated Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM). Four consecutive tests verified that the simulated LRASM can break or push through the MK 41 canisters forward cover without causing damage to the composite structure, air data probe or coatings of the missile.
The testing was part of a Lockheed Martin-funded shipboard integration effort to prove LRASM can successfully function as an Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare (OASuW) weapon. The push-through testing is an important risk reduction milestone critical to demonstrating LRASMs surface launch capability.
