A JASSM detonates above a hardened target during tests. The AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (AGM-158 JASSM) is a low detection standoff air-launched cruise missile developed by Lockheed Martin for the United States Armed Forces. [6] It is a large, stealthy long-range weapon with a 1,000-pound (450 kg) armor piercing warhead.
Rapid Dragon is a palletized and disposable weapons module which is airdropped in order to deploy flying munitions, typically cruise missiles, from unmodified cargo planes.. Developed by the United States Air Force and Lockheed, the airdrop-rigged pallets, called "deployment boxes," provide a low cost method allowing unmodified cargo planes, such as C-130 or C-17 aircraft, to be temporarily ...
The AGM-159 was a high precision cruise missile design proposed in 1996 by the Boeing (McDonnell-Douglas) company as a contender in the U.S. Air Force's JASSM project. It was intended to be able to penetrate advanced air defense systems, such as the Russian S-300 surface-to-air missile system. The weapon was intended to be carried by long range ...
The JASSM and LRASM missiles are cousins. JASSM was developed in the 2000s as a stealthy, subsonic cruise missile. JASSM typically uses GPS to fly to a midpoint, then uses an imaging infrared ...
These stealthy, long-range cruise missiles could give Kyiv's F-16s a considerable firepower boost. ... Older JASSM variants carry a 1,000-pound warhead and have a range of more than 230 miles ...
An AGM-158 JASSM cruise missile on display at the Farnborough Airshow in July 2018. Note how it’s sculpted to minimize radar cross-section to ensure a high penetration rate of enemy air defenses.
LRASM-A is a subsonic cruise missile based on Lockheed Martin's 500 nm-range AGM-158 JASSM-ER; Lockheed Martin was awarded initial development contracts. [28] LRASM-B was planned to be a high-altitude supersonic missile along the lines of the Indo-Russian BrahMos, but it was cancelled in January 2012. Captive carry flight tests of LRASM sensors ...
BERLIN (Reuters) -The German government has started the ordering process for 75 new JASSM-ER cruise missiles from the United States, German daily Bild reported on Tuesday. Without citing its ...
