It is part of a first installment of an M-SHORAD <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2018\/03\/01\/interim-short-range-air-defense-solution-will-be-stryker-based\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stryker-based system <\/a>that the U.S. Army rapidly developed and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2021\/04\/23\/first-short-range-air-defense-systems-deploy-to-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\">fielded to Europe<\/a>, with plans to build and field additional systems for more units in response to an urgent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/smr\/road-to-warsaw\/2016\/06\/14\/us-army-grapples-with-short-range-air-defense-gap-in-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\">need identified in the theater in 2016.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2022\/03\/30\/us-armys-short-range-air-defense-capability-will-grow-to-a-battalion-by-years-end\/\" target=\"_blank\"> received the requirement <\/a>to build the system in February 2018. It took just 19 months from the time the service generated the requirement to the delivery of prototypes for testing in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to newly issued product card distributed to reporters at the show here, \u201cJAGM affords a near plug-and-play replacement capability to the Longbow missile, while providing a multiple-target engagement capability, near-simultaneously, during day\/night and in adverse weather.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has yet to approve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/home\/2015\/08\/04\/lockheed-locks-down-us-army-jagm-development-contract\/\" target=\"_blank\">JAGM<\/a> for full-rate production, but expects to make that decision in the summer of 2022. The service has tasked Lockheed with producing the missile at a minimum sustainment rate as it waits for that decision, the Army has said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2018\/02\/23\/problems-with-armys-future-air-to-ground-missile-fixed-ahead-of-production-decision\/\" target=\"_blank\">failed to achieve desired lethal effects <\/a>on a maritime target, the U.S. Army and Marine Corps had to delay JAGM\u2019s fielding. The Marines were able to run successful final tests on Viper, where JAGM previously experienced problems, paving the way for a full-rate production decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed is also continuing to work with the U.S. Air Force on a fixed-wing launch capability, Flaherty said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the company is investing its own development dollars on extending the range of JAGM out to 16 kilometers, roughly doubling its current range, without changing the outer mold line of the munition or its weight in any significant way, according to Flaherty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re making this investment to bring this forward now, because we really think there\u2019s demand there,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has also recently issued a request for information to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2022\/04\/07\/us-army-initiates-plan-to-replace-stingers-with-next-gen-interceptor\/\" target=\"_blank\">replace Stinger missiles <\/a>with a new next-generation capability, and JAGM could \u201cbe a great capability to offer in that evaluation,\u201d Flaherty said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2022\/05\/11\/stinger-shortcut-us-army-seeks-special-funding-for-missile-supply-chain\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stinger missiles are rapidly being expended <\/a>through U.S. contributions to Ukraine\u2019s defense against the ongoing Russian invasion, and the U.S. is currently evaluating how quickly it can replenish its stockpile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stingers can be fired from vehicles or shoulder-launched. The JAGM weapon would be too heavy to serve as a shoulder-launched capability, but \u201cif you were going to do a vehicle-mounted Stryker or some other vehicle-mounted version of it, there\u2019s really no reason why not,\u201d Flaherty said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile could be the next interceptor for the U.S. Army&#8217;s
