The USAF is considering building a new weapon to go after heavily-
defended ships. See:

Shouldn't the Navy be taking the lead on a project like this?

Let me take a look into the old crystal ball...

Since USAF is upset that the Navy refuses to let it lead the development of
all DoD UAV's, they're creating a juicy Navy-oriented project. That way,
when push comes to shove, the Air Force has a program to use as a bargaining
chip that they can "trade" for the right to take over the Navy's UAV
projects.

Farfetched?
