"The JASSM is a long-range, conventional, air-to-ground, precision standoff missile designed for the US and allied forces to destroy high-value, well-defended, fixed and relocatable targets."

According to Lockheed Martin, JASSM’s significant standoff range keeps aircrews well out of danger from hostile air defense systems.

The 2,000-pound class weapon with a penetrator / blast fragmentation warhead employs precision routing and guidance in adverse weather, day or night, using an infrared seeker in addition to the anti-jam GPS to find a specific aimpoint on the target.
