The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) is a U.S. military program to develop an air-to-surface missile to replace the current air-launched BGM-71 TOW, AGM-114 Hellfire and AGM-65 Maverick missiles.[2] The US Army plans to buy thousands of JAGMs.[3]

Description

The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) program is a follow-on from the unsuccessful AGM-169 Joint Common Missile program that was cancelled due to budget cuts. JAGM will share basically the same objectives and technologies as JCM but will be developed over a longer time scale.[4]

Launch platforms

Operators

 United States: The JAGM was intended for joint service with the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps, by providing a single missile configuration for many platforms. JAGM offered the services increased operational flexibility and reduced logistics support costs.[2] However, in February 2012, the Navy and Marine Corps terminated their investment in the program, saying it was a "managable risk" to do so. They will instead focus on the GBU-53/B SDB II and continued Hellfire procurement. This makes the JAGM an Army-only program.[5]

Timeline

  • June 2007: US Defense Department releases a draft request for proposals (RFP) launching a competition for the Joint Air to Ground Missile (JAGM) program, schedules industry day.[4]
  • April 2008: Raytheon and Boeing announce teaming for the Joint Air to Ground Missile (JAGM) program.[6]
  • September 2008: Lockheed Martin announced that they were awarded a $122 million technology development contract for the Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) system. The 27-month contract, awarded by the U.S. Army’s Aviation and Missile Command, with participation by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, is for a competitive risk-reduction phase.[7]
  • September 2008: U.S. Army Awards Raytheon-Boeing Team $125 million contract for JAGM.[8]
  • January 2010: Raytheon-Boeing team completes first JAGM captive flight test.[9]
  • March 2010: U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) updates the draft request for proposal (RFP) and releases it.[10]
  • March 2010: Lockheed Martin Successfully Tests JAGM Tri-Mode Seeker.[11]
  • April 2010: Raytheon-Boeing team validates JAGM seeker during captive flight tests.[12]
  • April 2010: Lockheed Martin, Aerojet achieve JAGM rocket motor breakthrough.[13]
  • April 2010: Lockheed Martin's JAGM successfully completes Limited Dirty Battlefield/Countermeasures testing.[14]
  • April 2010: Raytheon-Boeing team fires first JAGM[15]
  • May 2010: Lockheed Martin's JAGM successfully completes F/A-18 E/F wind tunnel tests.[16]
  • July 2010: Raytheon-Boeing Team on Target During First Government-Funded Test of JAGM[17]
  • Aug 2010: Raytheon-Boeing Team on Target During Second Government-Funded Test
  • Sep 2010: Raytheon-Boeing Team on Target During Third Government-Funded Test
  • Nov 2010: Lockheed Martin JAGM Hits Target in Multi-Mission Test [18]
  • Jan 2011: Lockheed Martin JAGM Completes Flying Qualities Test on US Navy Super Hornet[19]
Each team submitted its proposal in the spring of 2011, with contract award expected in the first quarter of 2012. However, in September the Army and Navy requested the JAGM program be terminated.[20]
  • Jan 2012: JAGM survives budget reduction plan with reduced funding[21]
  • Aug 17, 2012: Lockheed Martin receives a $64 million contract from the U.S. Army to extend the JAGM technology development program. The 27-month extended technology development program will include design, test, and demonstration phases for the JAGM guidance section.[22]
  • Oct 22, 2012: Raytheon submits its contract proposal to continue the development of its version of the JAGM. The imaging infrared seeker requirement was previously dropped due to cost, but the Raytheon seeker is the same one used GBU-53/B SDB II, so they will continue to develop their system with all three modes.[23]
  • Oct 23, 2012: Lockheed successfully tested millimeter wave and semi-active laser seeker for missile at maximum range.[24]
  • Dec 6, 2012: Raytheon receives a $65 million 28-month contract to continue development of their JAGM missile and uncooled tri-mode seeker.[25]
