Raytheon and Boeing Team for Joint Air to Ground Missile Program
Raytheon Company and Boeing have signed a teaming agreement to pursue the U.S. Army-U.S. Navy Joint Air to Ground Missile program.
The JAGM program will produce a single missile solution for rotary and fixed wing platforms. With an expected in-service date of 2016, JAGM replaces the BGM-71 TOW, AGM-114 Hellfire and AGM-65 Maverick missiles. Raytheon will be the prime contractor on the team’s bid.
The missile is being designed to defeat moving and stationary targets at extended ranges in all types of weather. When available, JAGM will be launched from a variety of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, including the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet, AH-64D Apache Longbow, MH-60R Seahawk, AH-1Z Super
Cobra, Extended-Range Multi-Purpose UAV, Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter, and Warrior Unmanned Aircraft System.
