AGM-179 JAGM The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM), also known as AGM-179, is a multi-sensor, air-to-ground missile. This multi-mode missile offers enhanced performance against moving and stationary armor, air defense units, patrol craft, artillery, transporter erector/launchers, radar sites and C2 nodes, in addition to bunkers and other structures in urban and complex terrain. The AGM-179 JAGM is intended to replace the current air-launched AGM-114 Hellfire, and AGM-65 Maverick missiles. Proven throughout multiple flight tests, the weapon’s multi-mode seeker provides an improved semi-active laser (SAL) sensor for precision-strike and a fire-and-forget millimeter wave (MMW) radar for moving targets in all-weather conditions. The seeker is architected to utilize specific operator selected sensors, or all sensors in combinations simultaneously to provide the optimum solution to prosecute the target. Unlike other weapons configured with either single or multiple sensors, JAGM optimizes target engagement based on available sensor information, and remains capable of target prosecution should an anomaly occur with one of the sensors. Fire-and-forget engagement modes significantly increase JAGM user survivability against threat defenses in GPS-denied and austere communications environments. JAGM can engage multiple stationary and moving targets, in the presence of adverse weather, battlefield obscurants and advanced countermeasures. Laser and radar guided engagement modes allow JAGM users to strike accurately across wide target sets and reduce collateral damage. Features: • Semi-Active Laser (SAL) sensor provides pinpoint accuracy • millimeter-wave radar (MMW) sensor provides capability against countermeasures and enhances accuracy in all weather types versus moving targets • Fire-and-forget capability supports rapid-fire launches at multiple targets and increases survivability • Lock-on before and lock-on after launch maximizes operational engagement and flexibility while minimizing collateral damage • A modular seeker design independent of the missile bus offers rapid response to future requirements Specifications: Weight: 113.5 lb (51.5 kg) Length: 69.2 in (175.8 cm) Diameter: 7 in (17.8 cm) Warhead: Multi purpose cockpit selectable, tandem, shaped charge, blast fragmentation Range: 0.3 to 4.9+ miles (0.5 to 8+km) Guidance: Multi-Mode Semi-Active Laser (SAL) / millimeter-wave radar (MMW) JAGM-Medium Range (JAGM-MR) The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile-Medium Range (JAGM-MR) is a planned product improvement to the in-production JAGM. To proactively meet customer needs, Lockheed Martin has undertaken this aggressive initiative, designed to increase the ground-launched range of JAGM, while maintaining the existing outer mold line dimensions of the missile. JAGM-MR maintains the operational benefits of JAGM, while reaching ranges over 16 kilometers when ground launched, more than double the range of the fielded weapon. To ensure M299 Launcher compatibility, JAGM-MR retains the existing length and diameter of JAGM, while minimizing weight growth. Responsive to the ever-growing need for increased capabilities to address emerging threats, while concurrently enhancing weapons delivery platform and crew survivability through increased stand-off, JAGM-MR provides that and more. A suitable upgrade to the HELLFIRE® and JAGM family of missiles, inclusive of the out-of-production Longbow missiles, JAGM-MR provides heightened capabilities to aviation platforms, surface platforms and ground platforms. Similar to JAGM, JAGM-MR affords a multiple target engagement capability, near simultaneously, during day/night and in adverse weather to all delivery platforms. JAGM-MR encompasses an upgraded missile bus and multi-mode guidance section, offering enhanced performance on tomorrow’s battlefield. Proven throughout multiple flight tests, the weapon’s multi-mode seeker provides an improved semi active laser (SAL) sensor for precision-strike and a fire-and-forget millimeter wave (MMW) radar for moving targets in all-weather conditions. Additionally, JAGM-MR incorporates a near infrared (NIR) sensor into the multi-mode seeker providing further operational enhancements and compounding adversary countermeasures challenges. The seeker is architected to utilize specific operator-selected sensors, or all sensors in combinations simultaneously to provide the optimum solution to prosecute the target. Unlike other weapons configured with either single or multiple sensors, JAGM optimizes target engagement based on available sensor information, and remains capable of target prosecution should an anomaly occur with one of the sensors. Features: • Semi-Active Laser (SAL) sensor provides precision-point accuracy • millimeter-wave radar (MMW) / near-infrared (NIR) sensor provides improved capability against countermeasures, enhances accuracy in all weather types and versus moving targets while providing aimpoint refinement • Updated propulsion and control sections provide JAGM extended range and improved maneuverability • Fire-and-forget capability supports rapid-fire launches at multiple targets and increases survivability • Lock-on before and lock-on after launch maximizes operational engagement and flexibility while minimizing collateral damage • A modular seeker design independent of the missile bus offers accelerated response to future requirements • Operator-selectable fuze options provides enhanced lethality across a wide target spectrum, supporting secondary and tertiary mission tasking • Compatible with all JAGM user platforms, as well as HF/Longbow platforms with software updates Specifications: Weight: 122 lbs. (53.3 kg) Length: 69.2 in (175.6 cm) Diameter: 7 in (17.8 cm) Warhead: Multi purpose Range: 00.3 to 9.9+ miles (0.5 to 16+ kilometers) Guidance: tri-mode seeker: Multi-Mode Semi-Active Laser (SAL) / millimeter-wave radar (MMW) / near-infrared (NIR) JAGM-F The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile-Fixed Wing (JAGM-F) is the eject-launched variant of Lockheed Martin’s proven, in-production, rail-launched, U.S. Army Program of Record JAGM. Compatible with various eject launcher systems, JAGM-F is a lightweight, precision-guided air-to-ground missile, for attack and fighter aircraft. This powered weapon system offers high-speed, multi target, moving target, obscured target, as well as high off-boresight direct attack capabilities. JAGM-F, also known as AGM-187A, provides an affordable solution to the ever-growing need for massed fires effects on multiple targets by increasing weapon loadout per platform (4/BRU-61A). The weapon system’s design leverages technology from Lockheed Martin’s proven AGM-114 HELLFIRE II® and JAGM (AGM-179), resulting in enhanced performance for fast-moving, time-sensitive targets. The multi-mode seeker provides an improved semi-active laser (SAL) sensor for precision strike and a fire-and-forget millimeter wave (MMW) radar for moving targets in adverse weather conditions. These sensors are integrated into the JAGM (AGM-179) guidance section, which has proven performance and is currently in Low-Rate Initial Production, and are within the baseline seeker for the JAGM-F. Fire-and-forget engagement modes significantly increase JAGM-F user survivability against threat defenses in GPS-denied and austere communications environments. JAGM-F can engage multiple stationary and moving targets, near simultaneously, in the presence of battlefield obscurants and advanced countermeasures. Laser and radar-guided engagement modes allow JAGM-F users to strike accurately across multiple target sets, including armor, wheeled vehicles, air defense units, patrol craft, artillery, transporter erector/launchers, radar sites, C2 nodes, as well as bunkers or other structures in urban, littoral and complex terrain.
