Could you elaborate?

As with all weapon systems, there is always an ongoing battle between suppliers with competing platforms. Tomahawk is a "brand"... The military has been pushing a new generation program called LRASM (Long Range Air to Surface Missle) which is/was an open competition to who will supply that missle function going forward. Tomahawk II was one of the competitors.. There are other competing vendors and brands. Around 2 thousand LRAMS are budgeted to come online as the Tomahawks run out.

Same with Hellfire. There is a new generation program for that type of missle underway (JAGM, Joint Air to Ground Missle). It looks like a variation of Hellfire will win that competition. The military is just moving away from the existing brand names to new products identified by their boring internal monikers. LRASM and JAGM.

Correction: LRASM is Long Range Anti Ship
