Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM)

Abstract

The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) program is an Army led, Acquisition Category (ACAT) 1C Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) with joint interest with the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) and U.S. Navy. The JAGM is the next generation of aviation-launched, fire and forget missiles to replace the HELLFIRE Laser and Longbow radar missiles. JAGM will be used by joint service aircraft for destruction of high value stationary, moving, and relocatable land and maritime targets from standoff range in day, night, adverse weather, and obscured battlefield conditions. FY2018 Base dollars in the amount of $34.626 million support the completion of the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase, to include: Apache integration; system developmental testing; and a Limited User Test. Funding also supports post-Milestone C developmental, integrated, and operational testing working toward an FY2019 Initial Operational Test and Evaluation.

Change Summary Explanation
Since PB17, the JAGM EMD schedule has changed due to hardware delays caused by low production yield and other manufacturing related issues, along with a delay in awarding the Apache integration effort on the Boeing IDIQ contract. The program now includes a Limited User Test (LUT) (replacing the previously scheduled Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E)) in second quarter FY 2018. The LUT will inform the Milestone C decision, scheduled in third quarter FY 2018. The IOT&E is now scheduled for second quarter FY 2019, in lieu of the previously scheduled Follow-on Test and Evaluation. These changes have no impact on the current EMD plan to complete all 48 missile flight tests prior to February 2018, in support of Milestone C. The FY 2018 $26.100 million funding increase is to address the above schedule changes.
