CoAspire is proud of its long relationship with Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control since June, 2016 and is excited to see what the future will bring for the services and international partners with the JAGM-F missile.
The FY19 #NDAA conference report was released this week and the House and Senate Defense Authorization committees (#HASC and #SASC)added $5M in the USMC #JAGM line, and an additional $5M in the Navy's #F/A-18 Squadrons line for JAGM-F Fixed Wing Studies and Analysis. This missile will provide the Marine Corps and Navy a great capability for their F/A-18 C/D/E/F and EA-18G, and in the AV-8B and F-35B/C. #JAGM-F is a multi-mode, eject-launched missile capable of quickly defeating a variety of threats on the ground.

On June 29th the United States Senate Committee on Appropriations publicly released its markup of the FY19 Defense Bill. The Committee added $9.8M for the US Navy for the new JAGM-F Missile, and $9.8M for the US Marine Corps in DoN RDT&E funding. This $19.6M in additional funding, if approved through the appropriations process, will allow the DoN to conduct studies and analysis and develop the new JAGM-F missile. The Air Force had already requested in their FY19 President Budget Request $31.596M for a new start for JAGM-F for their fighter aircraft. The House also authorized similar additions for the Department of the Navy ($5M for the Navy and $5M for the Marine Corps) and authored report language, showing bi-partisan support in both chambers of Congress for this dual mode missile for fighter aircraft and the need for DoN funding.
