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 two (2) variants 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), and F-35. Aircraft integration for JASSM-ER is the B-1B. Objective aircraft is the B-52H, F16C/D (Block 50/52), B-2, F-16C/D (Block25-42), F-15E, and F-35. 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, JASSM baseline and JASSM-Extended Range (JASSM-ER) - both with improved reliability, separate milestone decision points and separate projects within a single program element. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year. The JASSM program is evaluating Diminishing Manufacturing Sources Material Shortages (DMSMS) and several obsolescence issues.

Change Summary Explanation
FY11 Congressional General Reduction of 0.102M in Other Adjustment row. FY13 funding increase of 4.015M for the development of JASSM and JASSM-ER Common Telemetry Instrumentation Kit (C-TIK). TIK is installed in flight test missiles to monitor the condition of the missile during the test flight. The current TIK needs to be installed in JASSM-ER during the production process and does not allow the Air Force to randomly select test missiles.
