Provides a precision-guided, air-to-ground weapon for use by Joint service manned and unmanned aircraft to destroy stationary and moving high-value targets.
The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) System will provide an air-to-surface, precision, standoff strike capability from the host platform. The adverse weather capable JAGM System will enable war-fighters to attack critical, high value, fixed and moving/fleeting targets day or night in battlefield limited visibility conditions from significant standoff ranges while remaining fully effective against a variety of countermeasures. The standoff capability of the JAGM System enables the weapon to place high value, heavily defended targets at risk while the aircrews remain outside the range of lethal point and area defenses. A terminal guidance capability enables the platform to launch the weapon and depart the launch area to enhance aircraft survivability. The precision accuracy enables the JAGM System to place point and moving/fleeting targets and target elements within a target complex at risk and reduces the probability of collateral damage.
The JAGM is an Army program with Joint requirements from the Navy and United Sates Marine Corps. The threshold platforms for JAGM are the U.S. Armys Apache (AH-64D) and the USMCs Super Cobra (AH-1Z).
