This day and its many griefs seem to land differently on me this year. Many of us are proud of the work we do and where we stand today. Yet, it's hard not to wonder how different our lives might be had catastrophe not reshaped our paths 25 years ago. Take care out there today.

Everyone, meet the AIM-424 Malice:
NEW: The US Navy has a new long-range air-to-air missile.
The AIM-424 Malice has a range that far exceeds current missiles and is being tested on F/A-18s and F-35s.
Of course, specifics are classified

The US Navy’s VLS capacity is already declining - and could dip further soon. My new article in @CIMSEC explores the emerging VLS gap & containerized launcher solutions (h/t to @CIMSEC & my @IDA_org colleagues for their sharp edits and feedback)

The U.S. Navy just welcomed a powerful new asset! ⚓
We're excited to announce the delivery of the future USS Massachusetts (SSN 798), the 25th Virginia-class submarine, from HII's Newport News Shipbuilding division on Nov. 21.
With advanced stealth, surveillance, and special warfare capabilities, the Massachusetts will bolster our Nation's asymmetrical advantage at sea.

"The money will come from fiscal years 2023, 2024 and 2025 appropriations." Remember, the stuff that rolls off the production line is often the result of decisions made - and checks written - from many years prior.

Depending on missile/round variants - and the spread between ESSM and SM-3 - we’re looking at around $785 million

Good news, Navy intend to procure 1345 MST. But remember the time it takes for procurement in any given year to make it into the inventory...
