The first launch of a tactical configuration Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM), developed by Lockheed Martin, was performed by a US Air Force B-1B Lancer on 17 August. 

According to Lockheed Martin press release, The missile navigated through all planned waypoints, transitioned to mid-course guidance and flew toward the moving maritime target using inputs from the onboard multimodal sensor. The missile then descended to low altitude for final approach to target area, positively identified and impacted the target. 

LRASM is a precision-guided, anti-ship standoff missile designed to detect and destroy specific targets within groups of ships by employing advanced technologies that reduce dependence on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platforms, network links and GPS navigation in electronic warfare environments.
