EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE: When the Air Force successfully launched its newest cruise missile for the first time on May 18, it marked a significant step toward making the job of the pilots who deliver the weapon a lot less risky.
A B-1B Lancer released the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile — Extended Range over the White Sands Missile Range in the New Mexico desert. The missile successfully cruised more than 400 nautical miles to its static target of cargo containers.
