The AGM-158B JASSM-ER was estimated to have a maximum range of 500 nmi (930 km). [3] [17] However, LRASM's range is shorter than the JASSM-ER it is based upon, due to the extra space for the navigation/sensor/passive radar needs. Lockheed Martin has claimed the missile's range is greater than 200 nmi (370 km). [18]
