The US Air Force has officially designated the Leidos Small Cruise Missile (SCM) as AGM-190A, confirming its operational role as a cost-effective stand-off strike option. The missile, weighing 200 pounds and capable of long-range precision effects, features modular hardware and open-system software for rapid upgrades.

Powered by a Pratt & Whitney TJ150-7 turbojet, it achieves Mach 0.8 and a service ceiling of 30,000 feet. The AGM-190A's development, which began in 2021, follows successful test flights demonstrating a range of over 400 nautical miles when launched from a C-130 aircraft. This designation underscores Leidos' capabilities in providing adaptable strike solutions.
