Joint Dual-Role Air Dominance Missile (JDRADM)

Abstract

JDRADM is envisioned as a multi-role (air-to-air & air-to-ground) missile for the 5th generation fighter force structure. It will provide increased flexibility, standoff range, and lethality to defeat 2020+ air and surface threats. It is intended for internal carriage on the F-22A and F-35, and external carriage on selected legacy aircraft. This program continues risk reduction and concept development efforts to ensure critical technologies are adequately assessed to support the Materiel Solution Analysis (MSA) phase of the program. The JROC approved Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) refers to this missile as the Next Generation Missile (NGM). The program completed a successful Materiel Development Decision (MDD) DAB on 29 Nov 10. The program was approved to enter the MSA phase and conduct and complete an evaluation of alternative weapons to assess the performance, operational effectiveness, oprational suitability, and estimated system procurement costs based on findings in the NGM ICD, dated April 2010. It also designated the AF as the lead Service. This program is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
