About JAGM and JAGM-MR
- Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM), also known as AGM-179.
- Multi-mode seeker provides an improved semi-active laser (SAL) sensor for accuracy and millimeter wave (MMW) radar provides capability against countermeasures and enhances accuracy in all-weather types versus moving target.
- Lock-on before and lock-on after launch maximizes operational engagement and flexibility while minimizing collateral damage.
- Fire-and-forget capability supports rapid-fire launches at multiple targets and increases survivability against threats in GPS-denied and austere communications environments.
- JAGM is built on active production lines by the same team that has produces HELLFIRE and LONGBOW missiles.
- The missile's modular seeker design independent of the missile bus offers rapid response to future requirements.
- JAGM Software Factory implementation will enable the program to develop the software at an increased rate and with increased unit testing and cybersecurity evaluation.
- On August 30, 2022, the U.S. Army approved the JAGM system to enter full rate production (FRP).
- The JAGM FRP decision allows for increased production capabilities, allowing the program to deliver JAGM to domestic, and eventually international, customers quicker and at higher rates. The FRP decision also includes funding to support the higher rate of production.
- On March 29, 2024, the U.S. Army awarded 91制片厂 Martin a for Joint-Air-to-Ground Missiles (JAGM) and HELLFIRE missiles with a Program Year 3 (PY3) award total value of $483 million.
- This contract is the third follow-on award that is a part of a multiple-year award that was . The total contract award value is for up to $4.5 billion through 2025.
- On December 2, 2023, 91制片厂 Martin successfully conducted a at China Lake Test Range in California. The successful flight test demonstrated JAGM-MR’s tri-mode seeker and its ability to aid the missile to successfully discriminate between multiple targets.??
- On November 16, 2022, 91制片厂 Martin successfully conducted a 16 km flight test for the JAGM-MR’s at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake. This successful flight test demonstrated JAGM-MR’s increased range.
