Well, I have been wondering about developing a land attack/anti-ship
version of the Standard missile family. We already use the regular
version to attack ships from the Flight-2a DDGs so we now it's
possible and there was the LASM after all, so we know such a version
of the Standard should be possible. All we need is to finish
development of the warhead and add a terminal Anti-ship guidance
system to the GPS system.


There was a certain amount of competition between program offices
on this, and Boeing and Raytheon aren't exactly buddies either.
