	AGM-158 JASSM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) project was begun in 1995 after the cancellation of the AGM-137 TSSAM missile.
		The JASSM will be carried by a wide range of aircraft - the F-15E, F-16, F/A-18, F-35, B-1B, B-2 and B-52 are all intended to carry the weapon.
		On 28 Feb 2006, The Australian government announced the selection of the Lockheed Martin JASSM to equip the Royal Australian Air Force's F/A-18 Hornet fighters.

	AGM-158 Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) - Smart Weapons
		The JASSM Penetrator concept is a P3I to the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) to replace the baseline warhead with an advanced penetrator that meets or exceeds the objective penetration requirement specified in the JASSM Operational Requirements Document (ORD) and to add a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) seeker for adverse weather precision attack capability.
		JASSM Gets Off Ground Successfully AAC Public Affairs, Eglin AFB A successful flight test of Eglin’s Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile was conducted Aug 12 at White Sands Missile Range, N.M. The flawless unpowered test indicates that the problem with the electrical system experienced during the missile’s first flight test on April 8 has been remedied.

		The joint air-to-surface standoff missile (JASSM) is an autonomous, long-range, conventional, air-to-ground, precision standoff missile for the U.S. Air Force and Navy.
		In the terminal phase, JASSM is guided by an imaging infrared seeker and a general pattern match-autonomous target recognition syst em that provides aimpoint detection, tracking and strike capability.
		The JASSM (as demonstrated during testing against concrete bunkers) penetrates the roof of the target and detonated inside, destroying the target.

		JASSM is a top priority program because of its unmatched ability to deliver precision targeting, with superior effectiveness, over long distances, on multiple aircraft, through the toughest threat environments.
		JASSM continues to be a critical weapon for the U.S. Air Force, with the fourth production lot under contract towards a total of 4,900 rounds through at least 2018.

	B-1B Lancers Receive Weapons Upgrades - single post for printer
		JASSM with F-16On July 25/05 two Lancers from Dyess auto-released a Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile over the White Sands Missile Range, NM, as well as firing three dissimilar weapons from the same launcher.
		The AGM-158 JASSM missile is part of the B-1 Joint Standoff Weapon/ JASSM Integration (JJI) program, an extension of the B-1B's Block E system upgrades and one part of the overall B-1B conventional mission upgrade program.
		The JASSM was designed to fly up to 200 miles into highly defended airspace as an independent cruise missile, in order to reduce the risks of attacking high-value fixed targets without forcing the USAF to use more expensive missiles like the AGM-68C/D CALCM, whose 600+ mile range and complex self-guiding systems may be overkill.

	Officials Investigating JASSM Failures; Sticking To Schedule
		The Air Force plans to conduct the next round of operational tests in four weeks as originally planned, she said, although two investigation panels still are probing the causes of the most recent test failures.
		On April 8, the Air Force launched two JASSMs at the White Sands Missile Range, N.M. The first missile launch went smoothly and the weapon flew 196 miles before striking within three meters (9.8 feet) of its target, flying "right through the [proper] window" of the intended target, Stokley said.
		JASSM was cleared for a final round of eight operational tests in late March after the program suffered a five-month hiatus caused by two problems last fall that have been resolved.

		The test missile flew over 500 kilometers, then hit the intended target (several shipping containers). JASSM is the third family of GPS guided smart bombs to be developed.
		JASSM was designed to go after enemy air defense systems, or targets deep in heavily defended (against air attack) enemy territory.
		JASSM is stealthy and uses GPS and terminal (infrared) guidance to zero in on heavily defended targets (like air defense sites.) The terminal guidance enables the missile to land within ten feet of the aiming point.

	``The Amberley Weapon System Business Unit''({\relax Australian Aviation}, October 2001.)
		This upgrade is vitally important since the SIP capability will reduce the cost of integrating future weapons such as the JASSM and JDAM/JDAM-ER down to software changes and clearance testing while providing a long term migration path for future enhancements of the mission computer software.
		Block Upgrade C-5 is intended to integrate the new AGM-158 JASSM (AIR 5418), the GBU-31/32/35 JDAM GPS guided bomb (AIR 5409 Bomb Improvement Program) and probably later the winged JDAM-ER if introduced.
		Given the type of interface on the AGM-142 SOW, this upgrade provides the avionic components required to support the planned AGM-158 JASSM cruise missile (bottom), as well as the new JDAM/SDB family of guided bombs (F-111.net, USAF).

		While we have Popeye to outrange any SAM system likely to be fielded in our immediate region during the current decade and the option to keep the Pigs in service if the JASSM intergration takes longer than expected, I say we have the risks covered sufficiently to go for the better missile.

		The Headquarters Air Armament Center at Eglin Air Force Base, FL issued the contract (FA8682-04-C-0060/P00012), which covers the USAF only since the Navy ended procurement in 2005 in favor of the SLAM-ER.

		This was said to be the addition of a “follow-on standoff weapon” on the F/A-18A and AP-3C — presumably the AGM-158 JASSM series, the addition of the GBU-31/38 JDAM on the F/A-18As and the introduction of the four to five new medium tankers.
		Putting a standoff missile such as the JASSM and the JDAM on the F/A-18A does not alter the basic force structure equations in relation to combat power.
		That is dictated by numbers of aircraft, how many weapons they can lift, and how far they can carry them, expressed as “throw weight”.
