You're Going to Die: Meet the Army's New Air-To-Ground Missile

,The National Interest•December 21, 2019

REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. – U.S. Army missile experts are asking Lockheed Martin Corp. to double the rate of production on the JAGM next-generation air-to-ground weapon.

Officials of the Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal, Ala., are asking the Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control segment in Orlando, Fla., to increase production rates of the Joint-Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) from 50 to 100 missiles per month under terms of a $15.5 million order announced Friday.

JAGM is to replace U.S. Army and Navy inventories of Airborne TOW, Maverick, and Hellfire air-to-ground missiles. Lockheed Martin is building the JAGM for launch from the Army AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, the Army MQ-1C Gray Eagle unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the Navy MH-60R helicopter, and the Marine Corps AH-1Z Viper attack helicopter.
