Project seeks to launch a 36-pound, 90-knot UAV with magnetometer from a P-8A aircraft, with 45-minute endurance, to detect submarine-sized targets.
Note the range figure - 3500km -I got more than that.

I doubt even that would fit a CPS/Dark Eagle in it though, it'll be strictly for the VPMs (Virginia Payload Modules) on the Ohio SSGNs, Block IV Virginias and Zumwalts. G-VLS will likely be based on the Mk57 VLS in the Zumwalts. The navy version is also cold launched from a canister (round tube below), as opposed to the hot launch army version (square tube).
This diagram is misleading because it's actually 3 missiles in each of the 4 VPM tubes.The Navy expects to conduct the first CPS live fire from the DDG-1000 #Zumwalt destroyer next year. https://t.co/HX5EAwI6X6

So far it is on schedule even.

It won't be that big, CPS is cold-launch canisters from VPMs only. It's 10.7m long and 0.876m wide from what we can establish. It might be able to quad pack SM-2s (I think the Mk57 can), but not SM-6s.
