Lockheed Martin tests JAGM tri-mode seeker
Lockheed Martin recently tested its joint air-to-ground missile (JAGM) trimode seeker in high-speed captive flight tests on a Sabreliner jet at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, demonstrating the robustness of the seeker on fixed-wing aircraft.
The long-range, high-speed seeker tests were company funded and collected data that validated the maximum ranges of the imaging infrared (I2R) and semi-active laser (SAL) sensor modes at speeds approaching 400 knots at a 20,000 ft altitude.
“We continue to invest in JAGM testing to mature our design,” said Hady Mourad, JAGM programme director at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. “We plan to conduct additional fixed-wing seeker tests in the near future against maritime surface combatants, and we expect the same robust performance.”
Conducted at altitudes and airspeeds reflecting typical fixed-wing target engagement profiles, positive SAL, cooled I2R and millimeter wave sensor detections occurred at ranges far exceeding the threshold target engagement range requirements of the F/A-18 Super Hornet.
