Follow-on Stand Off Weapon - AIR 5418 Phase 1

TOP

Prime contractor: An FMS case was established with the US Air Force in July 2006 to supply AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles (JASSM). A commercial contract was signed with Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control in September 2006 for support for integration of JASSM with F/A-18F aircraft and supply of technical data and documentation


This project is acquiring JASSM for integration onto the F/A-18A/B aircraft to improve weapon terminal effectiveness against well defended targets.

I think the author of this webpage has goofed as the FOSOW project was finalised before the SH decision was even made.

Cool a contract was signed, it's a sure thing now then!  Even if it doesn't ever work properly or may not even be accepted for service, if they are delivered at all, a contract means we still get to pay for them.

JASSM is being funded and integrated onto RAAF Hornets and USN Supers in China Lake even as I write this...
 
I don't think any goof was made... 
 
A large amount of the integration work onto the Supers was conducted by the USN before they opted out and stuck with their SLAM-ER's.

Why would JASSM be being integrated onto USN SH's if they opted out?

I attended the JSF briefing today and JASSm was still in the weapons mix discussions re SHornet and JSF

Because we are paying for JASSM integration onto the Super Hornet and we don't have any Supers to do it ourselves, yet...
 
We are paying for USN birds to do the captive carry testing etc that wasn't completed, when USN pulled out of JASSM in 2004, or whenever it was...

I attended the JSF briefing today and JASSm was still in the weapons mix discussions re SHornet and JSF

Good news for capability but it makes the money that we are spending on integrating it into the legacy bugs for about 5-8 years sevice a complete ferking waste of time and money.

Unless our legacy Bugs need to go in harms way before retirement...

I doubt very much that the Super Hornets will only have 5-8 years service.
