Joint Air-to-ground Missile (JAGM)
Abstract
The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) is an air-launched missile system that utilizes dual-mode seeker technology thus providing advanced line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight capabilities, including precision point and fire-and-forget seeker targeting and increased lethality against soft, hardened, moving, stationary, land, maritime threats. JAGM provides robust capability in adverse weather, day or night and in obscured/countermeasure environments. The JAGM Increment 1 system replaces aviation-launched, tube-launched, optically-tracked, wire-guided (TOW), and Helicopter Launched Fire-&-Forget Missile (HELLFIRE) Systems. JAGM is an Army-led joint program that addresses rotary wing, fixed wing, and unmanned aerial vehicle requirements. Funding includes support of platform integration activities of the AH-1Z, the Department of Navy threshold platform for the JAGM integration. The JAGM system includes missiles, trainers, containers, support equipment and software modifications to the M-299 launcher. Future JAGM follow on efforts could include extending the weapon's range, developing a fixed wing variant, and developing potential follow on increments. The JAGM program is part of the Navy's Integrated Fire Control (IFC) approach to address advanced threat capabilities in the Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2AD) environment. IFC solutions enable individual system capabilities to be leveraged across an effects chain, placing the full spectrum of tactical capability in the hands of the warfighter. IFC solutions that push engagement distances beyond the launch platform's radar horizon and allow the United States Navy to operate in, and control, contested battle space in littoral waters and A2/AD environments are increasingly critical as more and more scenarios require compressed and coordinated fire control timelines. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under system development and demonstration because it includes those projects that have passed Milestone B approval and are conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirement prior to full-rate production decision.
