Calls for such a weapon comes from the European Long-Range Strike Approach (ELSA) initiative, a French initiative to which Germany, Poland and Italy signed on at the NATO summit in Washington last week.

With an envisioned range of more than 1,000 kilometers, the missile would provide, in sizable numbers, what the German defense ministry calls a “deep precision strike” capability sought by NATO. The multinational initiative will entail “joint development and procurement,” according to a German defense ministry readout published online following a meeting last month of the German, French and Polish defense ministers.

Edit: can't find the link right now but an older report said that safran and MBDA an AASM version which is ground launched. Probaly that what Safran is showing at its stand? I mean it would be a big missile as even the smallest AASM kit takes a 250kg / 550Ib Mk.82.
