Millimeter Wave (MMW) and SemiActive Laser (SAL) sensors co-axially
aligned on a steerable gimbal. The
combination of MMW and SAL sensors
provide improved Precision Point (PP)
and Fire-and-Forget (FF) capabilities in
a single munition. This combination
allows for targeting of fast moving and
stationary targets in countermeasure and
intensive battlefield environments, and
in low cloud ceiling and adverse
weather. Firing modes include Lock-On
Before Launch (LOBL) and Lock-On
After Launch (LOAL). Engagement
modes include Point Designation (PD)—
SAL only, Target Designation (PD)—
SAL initiated with MMW engagement
completion, Active Fire & Forget/Laser
Queuing (AFF–LQ)—MMW initiated
with SAL override capability, and
Active Fire & Forget (AFF)—MMW only.
Hosting platforms include select rotarywing and fixed-wing aircraft, wheeled
or tracked vehicles, ground-based
pedestal launchers, and patrol boats.
Targets include tactical armor, boats,
bunkers, buildings, caves, personnel in
the open, rotary-wing and slow fixedwing aircraft, UAS, and fast-moving
non-tactical vehicles. The MMW is
capable of hitting low radar cross
section targets.
o. The Hellfire M36E9 Captive Air
Training Missile (CATM) is a flighttraining missile that consists of a
functional guidance section coupled to
an inert missile bus. It functions like a
tactical missile during captive carry on
the aircraft, absent launch capability,
making it suitable for training the

p. The M261 2.75 Inch Rocket
Launcher is a nineteen tube, three zone
rocket launcher utilized on heavy attack
aircraft. It fires the Hydra 70 2.75-inch
rocket, an unguided, fin-stabilized airto-ground rocket that can utilize a
variety of warhead and fuze
combinations to achieve a range of
effects.
q. The AGR–20A Advanced Precision
Kill Weapons System (APWKS) is a
conversion of the 2.75-inch Hydra 70
rocket which adds a laser guidance kit
to enable precision targeting.

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The AGM–158B/B–2 Joint Air-toSurface Standoff Missile with Extended
Range (JASSM–ER) All Up Round
(AUR) is a low-observable, highly
survivable, subsonic cruise missile
designed to penetrate next-generation
air defense systems enroute to target.
The JASSM–ER is designed to kill hard,
medium-hardened, soft, and area-type
targets. A turbo-fan engine and
reconfigured fuel tanks provide added
capacity. The extended range over the
baseline was obtained by going from a
turbo jet to a turbo-fan engine and by
reconfiguring the fuel tanks for added
capacity.
a. The JASSM Anti-Jam Global
Positioning System (GPS) Receiver
(JAGR) is an imbedded GPS receiver
that resides within the AUR of the
JASSM–ER missile and is programed
during the AUR-build process to be
country-specific. It provides GPS/
Inertial Navigation System (INS)protected GPS null steering antenna
systems that can minimize or eliminate
undesirable interference, jamming
signals, or noise during midcourse
guidance.
b. The AGM–158B–2 system
capabilities include all the capabilities
of the AGM–158B. The AGM–158B–2
configuration will have different
internal components to address multiple
obsolescence issues as well as
subcomponent updates to position for
M-Code and other potential upgrades.
