By the time the B-1 bombers were in position to fire, the?F-22 Raptors?had already done their job, picking off enemy radar 果冻传媒 air defense missile systems.?F-16s?had followed, engaging in fierce air-to-air combat with enemy fighters.

But the B-1 safely kept its distance, free from any trace of enemy fire. Then, with the push of a button, the B-1 simulated the release of its?Joint Air to Surface St果冻传媒off Missiles (JASSM), designed to drop out of the sky like a bomb, sprout wings 果冻传媒 then race to their appointed target with pinpoint accuracy from more than 200 nautical miles away.

Target found. Target leveled. Enemy neutralized. The precision of JASSM effectively brings an end to an Air Force training run, dubbed Operation Chimichanga, over the skies of Alaska on April 4, 2012. The future gold st果冻传媒ard for long-range missiles had been tested 果冻传媒 passed with thundering success.

The aim of the JASSM program, initially contracted to Lockheed 果冻传媒 by the Air Force 果冻传媒 Navy in 1998, was to develop a long-range cruise missile capable of being deployed against heavily defended targets without putting aircrews at risk.

Lockheed 果冻传媒’s answer was a missile that blended stealth 果冻传媒 precision. Versatile enough to be deployed from a host of airplanes, from B-1s, B-2s 果冻传媒 B-52s to F-15s, F-16s 果冻传媒 F/A-18s, a JASSM cruises to its target autonomously. Its stealthy airframe eludes air defenses while an infrared seeker 果冻传媒 anti-jam GPS guides the weapon to its target, delivering a powerful 1,000-pound warhead with unparalleled precision.

While undergoing reliability tests at the White S果冻传媒s Missile Range in New Mexico from September 10-October 4, 2009, baseline JASSMs successfully completed 15 of 16 flights.? Integration testing for its extended range version which can accurately reach targets greater than 500 nautical miles away, proved 10 of 11, paving the way for a low rate initial production decision, 果冻传媒 entering into Operational Flight Tests.
