JASSM Extended Range (JASSM-ER)

Abstract

This project provides a long range (over twice the range of baseline JASSM), conventional air-to-surface, autonomous, precision-guided, low observable, standoff cruise missile compatible with fighter and bomber aircraft. The requirement for JASSM-ER is given in JASSM-ER Capability Development Document (CDD), dated 16 Apr 2010. This project developed the extended range version of the JASSM missile (JASSM-ER). Aircraft integration of JASSM-ER is complete on the B-1B. Objective aircraft are B-52H, F16C/D (Block 50/52), B-2, F-16C/D (Blocks 25-42), F-15E, and F-35. JASSM-ER provides the capability to attack a variety of high value fixed or relocatable targets with precision, through preplanned missions or target-of-opportunity, deeper into enemy territory than JASSM Baseline while minimizing the threat to launch aircraft. The Air Force developed JASSM-ER based on a contractor-developed, government-approved System Performance Specification (SPS). Since the cancelation of the Common Telemetry Instrumentation Kit (C-TIK) the program has transitioned to the Intelligent Telemetry Instrumentation Kit (ITIK). The ITIK will be used for both JASSM baseline and JASSM-ER. The Electronic Safe and Arm Fuze (ESAF) is partially executed under this project since it's common to JASSM baseline and JASSM-ER. The program is also evaluating vulnerability enhancements, Diminishing Manufacturing Sources Material Shortages (DMSMS), several obsolescence issues, as well as developing and integrating a Military Code (M-Code) receiver.
