The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Decade series values by fiscal year and President's Budget edition: one row per series (actuals, enacted, request), one column per fiscal year. Every figure opens its own citation.

Asked vs spent: the PB2018 book requested $34.6M for FY2018; the PB2020 book reported $28.5M as actual total obligation authority — $6.09M below the request. 28.534.6 = -6.1 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description

Mission Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM)

The AGM-179 Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) program is an Army-led, Acquisition Category (ACAT) 1C Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) with joint interest with the Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. JAGM is the next generation, multi-mode, air-to-ground munition replacing legacy HELLFIRE (HF) and HF Longbow munitions. JAGM will be used for destruction of high-value land and maritime targets, moving or stationary, and is capable of being fired from any platform currently firing HF from a US Army-issued M299 launcher. JAGM utilizes a HF back-end (propulsion, warhead and control system) with a new-design, Millimeter Wave (MMW) and Semi-Active Laser (SAL), multi-mode guidance section. The multi-mode capability provides fire-and-forget and precision-point targeting as well as unique, blended modes of each, for improved capability over legacy munitions.

Mission Joint Air-To-Ground Missile (JAGM)

The AGM-179 Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) program is an Army-led, Acquisition Category (ACAT) IC Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) with joint interest with the United States (U.S.) Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps (USMC), and U.S. Navy. The JAGM is the next generation of aviation-launched, fire and forget missiles to replace the HELLFIRE Laser and Longbow radar missiles. JAGM will be used by joint service aircraft for destruction of high value stationary, moving, and relocatable land and maritime targets from standoff range in day, night, adverse weather, and obscured battlefield conditions.

Oversight

Department-level designation (not specific to this program)

GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) — no program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.

No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,741 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
