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, Â鶹ֱ²¥ 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 Â鶹ֱ²¥ 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, Â鶹ֱ²¥ 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, Â鶹ֱ²¥ 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.
