LCMS - QUICK - BRF Fasthawk

The Low Cost Missile System (LCMS) known as 'FASTHAWK' is a surface and air-launched missile designed for strike warfare against time urgent, hardened, and deeply buried targets, with operational capabilities of Mach 4 to 6 and a range exceeding 700 nautical miles. The program, initiated in FY-88 and fully funded due to high priority, aims for a low cost of less than $250,000 per unit while employing advanced technologies such as ramjet propulsion and GPS guidance. Key milestones include successful completion of the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and plans for Critical Design Review (CDR) in November 1997.
