LongShot will fly from manned aircraft such as fighters, transports or others, adding huge capability and versatility for the U.S. and its allies against the most sophisticated potential adversaries.

Most importantly, LongShot will increase the range of manned fighters and keep pilots out of reach of hostile threats while closing on enemy targets, decreasing risks to U.S. warfighters.
