Affordable weapons
I've been trying to come up with a witty remark concerning this one, but I cannot:
Cruise missiles have proven themselves in combat many times, but the U.S. Navy desired to drive down the cruise missile unit cost with a commercially-based, "cruise-like" affordable weapon missile—built entirely with off-the-shelf components and costing about a tenth of the cost of a traditional cruise missile.
