Lockheed
Martin’s production-ready JAGM multi-mode guidance section design
offers a Millimeter Wave (MMW) seeker and a Semi-Active Laser (SAL) seeker
in one guidance section for enhanced performance on tomorrow’s battlefield.
This capability gives not only laser point designation capability, but
also offers the Navy the ability to engage moving targets in adverse weather
without the need to keep the laser on the target throughout engagement.
These newly integrated sensors have been mated with the AGM-114R missile
body and demonstrated during multiple flight tests. |

Another
advantage of the JAGM system is its compatibility across multiple platforms.
When paired with the AGM-114R missile body, Lockheed Martin’s JAGM
can easily be integrated with the MH-60R, or any platform that utilizes
the M299 launcher. Additionally, JAGM could be integrated to support maritime
missions upon depletion of the LONGBOW missile inventory that is currently
being integrated onto the Littoral Combat Ship. Lockheed Martin’s multi-mode JAGM guidance section will be manufactured on an existing production line. The modularity and open architecture of Lockheed Martin’s JAGM design ensure continued affordability and readiness to support the future increments and system upgrades. Lockheed Martin’s JAGM multi-mode weapon will provide warfighters with enhanced performance on tomorrow’s battlefield. Through successful flight testing, Lockheed Martin has designed, qualified and demonstrated that its JAGM guidance section exceeds the Army’s requirement without added risk or cost. |
