Lockheed Martin ’s AGM-158C Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM)

Issue: 05-2018

The first range test of Lockheed Martin’s AGM-158C LRASM from an F/A-18 Super Hornet will take place later this year. Speaking to Military.com, Lockheed’s Vice President of Strike Systems, Alan Jackson said captive-carry testing is currently underway following a successful jettison release test last year. The munition has already been tested and dropped from the B-1B bomber and will be operationally fielded on the platform this September following two more flights this summer. Based on the AGM-158B JASSM-ER, the LRASM hosts the same capabilities; but can also detect, identify and attack moving maritime targets. In addition to the Super Hornet, Lancer and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the LRASM can also be deck-launched from a vertical launch system on a Navy destroyer.
