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, AGM-158B-2, and the follow on missiles). JASSM-ER provides a long range, 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. Aircraft integration of JASSM-ER/AGM-158B is complete on the B-1, F-15E, F-16 and B-52. Threshold aircraft is the B-1 and Objective aircraft are F-15E, F-16, B-52, B-2, and F-35. JASSM-ER/AGM-158B-2 is an upgrade to the existing JASSM-ER/AGM-158B, incorporating multiple development initiatives to respond to rapidly changing threats and obsolescence issues. The 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS) increased the JASSM inventory objective by 48% which resulted in the monitoring/resolution of obsolescence on 13 subsystems. Funding may be used to address Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) issues. The FY2022 funding request was reduced by 6.786 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. In FY20 $0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY21 $0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. 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.
