F-16 Launches Live JASSM


An AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, or JASSM, launched from an F-16 successfully demonstrated end-to-end performance by destroying an air defense target in a flight test at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, in late April. The launch occurred at Mach 0.80 and at an altitude of 2,800 feet above the New Mexico desert. After weapon release, the missile, built by Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control in Orlando, Florida, autonomously navigated and guided to the planned target. JASSM used anti-jam global positioning system guidance en route to the target area. In the terminal phase, JASSM used its imaging infrared seeker and target correlator algorithms to precisely locate the target. The live warhead detonated upon impact, destroying the air defense target.
