The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) has successfully conducted an operational test of a new anti-ship missile.

The late-February test involved two RAAF F/A-18F Super Hornets, and saw a successful launch of two AGM-158C long-range anti-ship missiles (LRASM) over the Point Mugu sea range off the coast of California, where they successfully struck a barge stacked with containers representing a ship target.

The operational test also included the validation of weapons preparation and loading. It was supported by RAAF E-7A Wedgetail command and control and EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft, as well as a US Navy P-8A Poseidon maritime response aircraft.
