Joint Air-to-ground Missile (JAGM)

Abstract

Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (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. Due to changing priorities within the Department and overall reduction in defense funding it was deemed a manageable risk to terminate the Navy Marine Corps investment in the JAGM program through the FYDP.

Change Summary Explanation
Due to changing priorities within the Department and overall reduction in defense funding it was deemed a manageable risk to terminate the Navy Marine Corps investment in the JAGM program through the FYDP. Funding in FY12 will go towards the orderly shutdown of Navy and Marine Corp investment in JAGM. Following the maturation of the shutdown requirement the Department of Navy intends to apply any remaining funds towards other higher Navy priorities.
