### Project 675356 — JASSM Extended Range (JASSM-ER)

The Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) family of missiles includes: JASSM Baseline (JASSM-BL/AGM-158A) and JASSM Extended Range (JASSM-ER/AGM-158B, AGM-158B-2, AGM-158B-3, and AGM-158D). JASSM-ER provides a long range, conventional air-to-surface, autonomous, precision-guided, low observable, standoff cruise missile compatible with fighter and bomber aircraft. JASSM-ER provides the capability to attack a variety of high value fixed or relocatable targets with precision, through preplanned missions or target-of-opportunity, deeper into enemy territory than JASSM-BL, all while minimizing the threat to launch aircraft. Aircraft integration of JASSM-ER/AGM-158B is complete on the B-1, F-15E, F-16, B-2, and B-52. Objective aircraft are F-15E, F-16, B-52, B-2, and further integration is required for the F-35. JASSM-ER/AGM-158B-2 is complete on the B-1 only. The AGM-158A, AGM-158B, and AGM-158B-2 are fielded. The AGM-158B-3 and AGM-158D are in development and will gradually insert into the production line as the new missile builds are approved and ready. Missiles accepted by the Air Force will not be returned for modification to the newest variant. Threats to JASSM survivability are being rapidly developed and fielded by near-to-peer adversaries. JASSM continued development enhances capability and provides operational flexibility against current and projected threats. This is accomplished by evaluating high payoff technology development, performing risk reduction activities, and investigating new variants and/or alternate missions that may use JASSM attributes. To maximize effectiveness of existing inventory and address findings from the field, the Air Force develops, tests, and fields improvements via software upgrades into fielded missiles and/or hardware upgrades inserted into the production line. The AGM-158B-2 is an upgrade to the existing JASSM-ER/AGM-158B, incorporating multiple development initiatives to respond to rapidly changing threats and started production in Lot 19. The AGM-158B-3 provides Military M-code capability and will begin a production cut-in starting in Lot 22. The AGM-158D provides Weapon Data Link (WDL) capability to re-target the missile, post-launch, against relocatable or higher priority targets during mission execution. The AGM-158D will begin a production cut-in starting in Lot 23.

**Named R-3 performers** (share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total, so they need not reach 100%)**:** Lockheed Martin (34.3, 26%), PMA (7.9, 6.0%), 96 TW, Eglin AFB (3.9, 2.9%).

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warfighting Capability Enhancement | 45.3 | 43.0 | 29.8 |
| Weapon Data Link (WDL) | 144.7 | 178.6 | 98.8 |
| Other Development/Safety/Survivability | 0.7 | 4.5 | 4.5 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

## Where the FY2027 request goes

| Category | Share | $M |

| Industry primes | 35% | 46.2 |
| Other / unspecified | 65% | 86.9 |

**Top named industry performers:** Lockheed Martin ($34.3M, 26%), PMA ($7.9M, 6.0%), 96 TW, Eglin AFB ($3.9M, 2.9%).

## Mission & acquisition strategy

The Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) family of missiles includes: JASSM Baseline (JASSM-BL/AGM-158A) and JASSM Extended Range (JASSM-ER/AGM-158B, AGM-158B-2, AGM-158B-3, and AGM-158D). JASSM-ER provides a long range, conventional air-to-surface, autonomous, precision-guided, low observable, standoff cruise missile compatible with fighter and bomber aircraft. JASSM-ER provides the capability to attack a variety of high value fixed or relocatable targets with precision, through preplanned missions or target-of-opportunity, deeper into enemy territory than JASSM-BL, all while minimizing the threat to launch aircraft.

The JASSM Acquisition Strategy implements tenets of Open, Agile, and Digital acquisition for any new subsystem hardware or software development. Integrates the system in weapon portfolio tradespace studies by conducting trade studies, system engineering, test activities, and system modeling and simulation. Builds and refines a mission modeling framework by incorporating higher-fidelity weapon system designs and updates to the threat landscape to conduct ongoing assessment of weapon system performance against the authoritative threat. Leverages common component development, in collaboration with other weapon systems, to reduce redundant costs between systems with similar subsystems requirements.
