JASSM Extended Range (JASSM-ER)
Abstract
The Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) family of missiles includes: JASSM Baseline (JASSM-BL/AGM-158A) and JASSM Extended Range (JASSM-ER/AGM-158B and JASSM-ER/AGM-158D). JASSM-ER provides a long range (over twice the range of JASSM-BL), conventional air-to-surface, autonomous, precision-guided, low observable, standoff cruise missile compatible with fighter and bomber aircraft. 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-BL, all 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 requirement is in the JASSM-ER Capability Production Document (CPD), dated 16 April 2010. Aircraft integration of JASSM-ER/AGM-158B is complete on the B-1, F-15E, and B-52. Objective aircraft are B-52, F-16, B-2, and F-15E. JASSM-ER/AGM-158D is an upgrade to the existing JASSM-ER/AGM-158B, incorporating multiple development initiatives into a single, system-level update to respond to rapidly changing threats and parts obsolescence issues. The program continues development and integration efforts to improve lethality, lengthen operational life and adjust/incorporate emerging technologies. The 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS) increased the JASSM inventory objective by 48% which resulted in the monitoring/resolution of obsolescence on 13 subsystems. The program is also evaluating Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) issues. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver JASSM weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. 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.
