USAF Orders StormBreaker from Raytheon

1,500 Missiles, $320 Million Contract

The US Air Force has ordered 1,500 StormBreaker smart air-to-surface weapons from Raytheon Missiles & Defence under a $320 million contract, the company announced on 23 March.

The network-enabled weapon provides moving target engagement capabilities in all weather conditions, and features both a multi-effects warhead and a tri-mode seeker. “Having StormBreaker in the warfighter’s arsenal provides unprecedented capability against moving targets, regardless of conditions […] It also expands our production line and reinforces our commitment of ensuring the warfighter has the next-level munitions they need to safely and successfully accomplish the mission,” explained Paul Ferraro, the company’s President of Air Power.

Already fielded on the F-15E Strike Eagle, StormBreaker testing is currently under way on the F-35B and F/A-18. Across all three platforms, the weapon system has had “hundreds of successful operational test shots to date,” the company claims.
