The United States Department of Defense has only deployed one new cruise missile in the past 30 years. | The US Air Force conducted a successful test in 2022 of a stealth cruise missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, government documents have revealed.  The secretive missile is classified as a Long-Range Standoff (LRSO) missile and is designed to replace the aging AGM-86 which was first used in the 1980s. Designed and produced by Raytheon, the US Air Force conducted eight successful tests of the missile as it carried a mock version of a new nuclear warhead named W80-4.  Details about the missile are sparse but the Air Force describes it as a stealthy and long-range upgrade to the AGM-86. The W80-4 is an upgrade to the W80 nuclear warhead, which is being retrofitted to make it compatible with the new missile.
