The flight testing of Lockheed Martin’s Joint Air-to-Surface Stand-off Missile (JASSM) Extended Range for the US Air Force Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) has been completed. The JASSM was successful on 20 of 21 total flights which were designed to validate the full operational capability of the B-1B/JASSM-ER weapon system. With the completion of the IOT&E, Lockheed plans to move forward with full-rate production of the B-1B/JASSM-ER system later this year. The aerospace giant is looking to integrate the air-to-ground missile on its F-35 Lighting II fighter aircraft.
