Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW)

Abstract

JSOW Extended Range (ER) development commences in FY 2020 providing a JSOW variant with powered flight, avionics upgrades, and improved software enabling operations at tactically significant ranges of greater than 200nm, to kinetically engage adversary surface combatants and land targets. Additionally, the JSOW ER capability fundamentally supports Navy's strategy of intelligent, Network Enabled Weapons in order to apply effective and lethal firepower from secure positions. The FY 2020 budget request supports Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development (EMD) phase beginning in FY 2020 and Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in FY 2025 for F/A-18E/F. This effort leverages demonstration funding from OSD in FY 2018 and FY 2019, transitioning capability to the Navy.
