"The company had initially pitched a version of the weapon that would add a new warhead and a reconstituted engine for a range of more than 130 nautical miles — up from the about 70 nautical mile range of the current Block II weapons — in a Harpoon Next Generation configuration."

What the heck is a reconstituted engine? What will they replace the Teledyne J402 with? Something TTE has or will it be a William's Engine? That is a big change in range....

We need a “modern” sea skimming, nuclear capable missile with Mach 2+ terminal performance. You know, like Russia has had for decades...and even India has today.
