Description

Mission Precision Attack Strike Munition (PASM)

Precision Attack Strike Munition (PASM) - PASM is the Program of Record follow-on to the Long Range Attack Munition (LRAM) Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD). The program was renamed from LRAM to PASM to reflect its shorter range compared to other DON weapons and to differentiate the Program of Record from JCTD activities. The PASM program develops a new network-enabled, longer range precision strike weapon capable of deterring and destroying maritime and land-based targets. PASM builds off of the subsystem maturation, integration, and demonstration efforts of the LRAM JCTD. PASM will provide asymmetric advantages in range, stand-off and lethality. PASM is designed with a Weapons Open System Architecture (WOSA) to form fit multiple types of payloads based on mission while using common rail mounting systems and launchers to simplify logistics requirements. PASM is initially designed to utilize mature, non-integrated capabilities for the fire control system.

Mission Joint Air-to-ground Missile (JAGM)

The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) is an air-launched missile system that utilizes dual-mode seeker technology thus providing advanced line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight capabilities, including precision point and fire-and-forget seeker targeting and increased lethality against soft, hardened, moving, stationary, land, maritime threats. JAGM provides robust capability in adverse weather, day or night and in obscured/countermeasure environments. The JAGM Increment 1 system replaces aviation-launched, tube-launched, optically-tracked, wire-guided (TOW), and Helicopter Launched Fire-&-Forget Missile (HELLFIRE) Systems. JAGM is an Army-led joint program that addresses rotary wing, fixed wing, and unmanned aerial vehicle requirements. Funding includes support of platform integration activities of the AH-1Z, the Department of Navy threshold platform for the JAGM integration. The JAGM system includes missiles, trainers, containers, support equipment and software modifications to the M-299 launcher. Future JAGM follow on efforts could include extending the weapon's range, developing a fixed wing variant, and developing potential follow on increments. The JAGM program is part of the Navy's Integrated Fire Control (IFC) approach to address advanced threat capabilities in the Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2AD) environment. IFC solutions enable individual system capabilities to be leveraged across an effects chain, placing the full spectrum of tactical capability in the hands of the warfighter. IFC solutions that push engagement distances beyond the launch platform's radar horizon and allow the United States Navy to operate in, and control, contested battle space in littoral waters and A2/AD environments are increasingly critical as more and more scenarios require compressed and coordinated fire control timelines. Precision Attack Strike Munition (PASM) - PASM is the Program of Record follow-on to the Long Range Attack Munition (LRAM) Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD). The program was renamed from LRAM to PASM to reflect its shorter range compared to other DON weapons and to differentiate the Program of Record from JCTD activities. The PASM program develops a new network-enabled, longer range precision strike weapon capable of deterring and destroying maritime and land-based targets.

PASM is designed with a Weapons Open System Architecture (WOSA) to form fit multiple types of payloads based on mission while using common rail mounting systems and launchers to simplify logistics requirements. PASM is initially designed to utilize mature, non-integrated capabilities for the fire control system. The FY 2026 cost of the PASM Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $58.697 million, including RDT&E and procurement of prototype units. The Department will certify FYDP funding in a future budget submission. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under system development and demonstration because it includes those projects that have passed Milestone B approval and are conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirement prior to full-rate production decision.

The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) is an air-launched missile system that utilizes dual-mode seeker technology thus providing advanced line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight capabilities, including precision point and fire-and-forget seeker targeting and increased lethality against soft, hardened, moving, stationary, land, maritime threats. JAGM provides robust capability in adverse weather, day or night and in obscured/countermeasure environments. The JAGM Increment 1 system will replace aviation-launched; tube-launched, optically-tracked, wire-guided (TOW), and Helicopter Launched Fire-&-Forget Missile (HELLFIRE) Systems. Later increments of JAGM will be fixed wing compatible. JAGM is an Army-led joint program that addresses rotary wing, fixed wing and unmanned aerial vehicle requirements. The Department of Navy threshold platform is the AH-1Z. The JAGM system includes missile, trainers, containers, support equipment and software modifications to the M-299 launcher.
