The JAGM used its imaging infrared (IIR) guidance system to hit an armoured vehicle target at a distance of 4km during the test fire.
The JAGM will include a fully integrated tri-mode seeker that will incorporate semi-active laser, uncooled imaging infrared and millimeter wave guidance.
The weapon will also use components such as the Raytheon GBU-53/B Small Diameter Bomb II and the Boeing Brimstone.
