Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM)

Abstract

The Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) program provides a long range, conventional air-to-surface, autonomous, precision-guided, standoff cruise missile compatible with fighter and bomber aircraft able to attack a variety of fixed or relocatable targets. There are 2 versions of the JASSM missile: Baseline JASSM and an extended range JASSM (JASSM-ER). Aircraft integration of baseline JASSM is complete on the B-52H, F-16 (Block 50), B-1, and B-2. Objective aircraft include the F-15E, F-16 (Block 40), F-35, and F/A-18E/F. In Jun 2007, the DAE designated the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) program an ACAT 1D program due to a Nunn-McCurdy unit cost breach. On 1 May, 2008, the Defense Acquisition Executive (DAE) completed its Nunn-McCurdy review of the JASSM program and certified a restructured program to consist of two separable increments, the JASSM Baseline increment and the JASSM-Extended Range (JASSM-ER) increment--both with improved reliability, separate milestone decision points and separate projects within a single program element. This activity is reflected in Budget Activity 7, Operational Systems Development, because JASSM Baseline production started in FY02.
