US Navy MACE (Multi-Mission Affordable Capacity Effector)

Now that I think about it, 200 nm probably closer to real range because of the following reasons:
1- MACE requirement ask for something with range that can complimentary LRASM, and LRASM is known to have range around 200 nm (much shorter range than JASSM-ER)
Which is really strange given they have the same warhead.
 
I always assumed that AGM-158C-1 had to occupy a lot of volume with antenna for its RF geolocation system, and that resulted in lower fuel load. C2 notably deleted that feature, so I would think it more JASSM-ER ranged. C3/LRASM-ER was to extend LRASM range while retaining the RF sensing capability (smaller electronics? Smaller warhead?). Not sure if that went into production; have not heard anything or tried to look for info in awhile.
