JOINT AIR-TO-GROUND MISSILE (JAGM)
Abstract
The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) is an air-launched missile system that provides advanced line-of-sight (LOS) and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) capabilities, including precision point and fire-and-forget (active and passive) seeker targeting technologies; increased range; and increased lethality against soft and hardened moving and stationary targets. The system will be used with fixed-wing aircraft, rotary-wing aircraft, and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The JAGM System will replace aviation-launched TOW, the HELLFIRE family of missiles, and the Navy's Maverick family of missiles. JAGM is a joint program with the Army, Navy and United States Marine Corps that addresses rotary/fixed wing and UAS requirements. The Army is funding common missile development and integration to Army unique platforms with the Navy funding their platform integration requirements. The Super Hornet (F/A 18E/F), the Apache (AH-64D), and the Super Cobra (AH-1Z) are threshold platforms with integration by Milestone C (FY15) and Initial Operational Capability (IOC) beginning in FY17. Other threshold platforms are the Seahawk (MH-60R), Extended Range Multi Purpose (ERMP) UAS (MQ-1C), and the Army OH-58 Cockpit and Sensor Upgrade Program (CASUP). Integration timelines for MH-60R, MQ-1C ERMP and the OH-58 CASUP is FY15 and will be updated prior to Milestone B as those programs mature. JAGM will increase the Warfighter's operational flexibility by effectively engaging a variety of stationary and mobile targets on the battlefield, including advanced heavy/light armored vehicles, bunkers, buildings, patrol craft, command and control vehicles, transporter/erector (e.g., SCUD) launchers, artillery systems, and radar/air defense systems. Its tri-mode seeker will provide robust capability in adverse weather, day or night, and in an obscured/countermeasure environment, against both stationary and moving targets. JAGM supports more efficient logistics for expeditionary force tailoring by replacing several missile variants with a single, interoperable weapon. The warhead is designed for high performance against both armored and non-armored targets. This missile allows battlefield resupply flexibility in a variety of environments, thereby minimizing the logistics burden of the combat force. The JAGM System includes missile, trainers, containers, support equipment, and launcher modifications.
