The U.S. Pentagon signed framework agreements with Anduril Industries, CoAspire, and Zone 5. These contracts launch the Family of Affordable Mass Missiles (FAMM) program.
The initiative targets the procurement of nearly 28,000 air-launched cruise missiles. The Pentagon plans to acquire these weapons over the next five years. This marks one of the largest planned procurements of such weaponry in recent history.
The program expands U.S. Air Force long-range strike capabilities. The strategy reduces reliance on expensive legacy systems. The Pentagon aims to diversify the defense industrial base by promoting competition among non-traditional contractors. Additional manufacturers may join future procurement rounds to accelerate production and innovation.
