Joint Air-to-Ground Missile

Abstract

The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) is an air-launched missile system that will utilize dual-mode seeker technology 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 will additionally provide robust capability in adverse weather day or night and in obscured/countermeasure environments. The JAGM Increment 1 system will replace aviation-launched; tube-launched, optically-tracked, wire-guided, and Helicopter Launched Fire-&-Forget Missile System (HELLFIRE). Later increments of JAGM will be fixed wing compatible. JAGM is an Army-led joint program that addresses rotary wing, fixed wing and unmanned aerial vehicle requirements. The Department of Navy threshold platform is the AH-1Z. The JAGM system includes missile, trainers, container, support equipment and software modifications to the M-299 launcher.
