What does JASSM stand for?

Byline: kusumv03 The Lockheed Martin Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) successfully completed Lot 7 Reliability Assessment Program flight tests with a record of 15 successes out of 16 flights, as officially scored by an independent test data scoring board.

As a result, a plethora of advanced weapon technologies emerged in the 1990s, including the JDAM, Joint Air-to-surface standoff Missile, and Wind-Corrected Munition dispenser.

A final decision on whether to continue funding production of the joint air-to-surface standoff missile (JASSM) is not expected until next spring.

The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, C-40A Clipper and Standoff Land Attack Missile-Expanded Response all reported for duty, while the Joint Strike Fighter, CH-60S Seahawk, AH-1Z Super Cobra, vertical takeoff and landing tactical unmanned aerial vehicle, Joint Direct Attack Munition, AIM-9X Sidewinder short-range air-to-air missile and Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile all proceeded through testing toward their planned introduction.

The Air Force will select the contractor to begin full-scale development of the missile, called the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, or Jassam.

Terms call for Lockheed Missiles to make a dozen extended-range versions of the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, or JASSM-ER.

This fact has spawned the next generation of LO aircraft and weapons, including the F-22, F-35, and AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) to complement our tiny arsenal of B-2s and F-117s.

The weapons designated as "test platforms" for data links are the joint air-to-surface standoff missile, the small diameter bomb and the joint standoff weapon, noted Air Force Maj.
