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 Production Document (CPD), dated 16 Apr 2010. Aircraft integration of JASSM-ER is complete on the B-1B. Objective aircraft are B-52H, F-16C/D (Block 40-52), B-2, and F-15E. 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). The program continues its development/integration efforts on the Intelligent Telemetry Instrumentation Kit (ITIK), the Electronic Safe and Arm Fuze (ESAF), and the Military Code (M-Code) receiver, and FTS-TIK batteries. Our studies in FY16/17 led to safety/survivability via Wing Replacement/Chine Development/Integration, and Warfighting Capability Enhancement (Software) to enhance the aerodynamic performance against emerging threats. Future efforts added are Anti-Radiation Homing System (ARHS), improved Data Link capability for relocatable target attack, alternate payloads, and improved Guidance Navigation Control (GNC), and alternative FTS-TIK battery studies. The program is also evaluating Diminishing Manufacturing Sources Material Shortages (DMSMS) and reviewing obsolescence issues. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
