Joint Air-to-ground Missile (JAGM)

Abstract

JAGM is an Army-led close-air-support missile program that will utilize tri-mode seeker technology and be employed against land and maritime stationary and moving targets. JAGM will provide a fixed wing, rotary wing, and unmanned aircraft system launched missile system that provides advanced Line-of-sight and Beyond-line-of-sight capabilities, including precision point targeting and fire and forget seeker technologies, increased range, and increased lethality against soft and hardened moving and stationary targets. Its multi-mode seeker will provide robust capability in adverse weather, day or night, and in an obscured/countermeasure environment, against both stationary and moving targets. Initial Navy platform integration efforts include the F/A-18E/F, AH-1Z and MH-60R platforms. The JAGM system includes the missiles, trainers, containers, support equipment, and launcher modifications. FY08 funding captured under PE 0604450N.

Change Summary Explanation
Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: JAGM is a lead program for implementation of the OSD Competitive Technology Development (TD) initiatives. The goals for each of the JAGM TD contractors were achieved, including system level Preliminary Design Reviews, 3 ground launched missile shots demonstrating each of the 3 seeker modes (SAL/IR/MMW), F/A-18E/F wind tunnel testing of the new launcher/missile configuration, and F/A-18 E/F flying quality flight tests. The JAGM Engineering Manufacturing Development acquisition approach is aligned with FY09 Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act initiatives and OSD (AT&L) acquisition initiatives. The JAGM MS B originally scheduled in 1Q FY11 has been delayed to 3Q FY11 while obtaining approval of the JAGM Acquisition Strategy. As a result, there will be corresponding delays to the program. Army Extended Range Multi Purpose Unmanned Aerial System, Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter Integration, and Production Qualification Test deleted from the Navy schedule as it is not required to depict Army efforts on the Navy schedule.
