The '''AGM-179 Joint Air-to-Ground Missile''' ('''JAGM''') is an American military program to develop an air-to-surface missile, to replace the current air-launched BGM-71 TOW, AGM-114 Hellfire, and AGM-65 Maverick missiles.<ref name="ARMY_BIJ">{{cite web|url=http://www.dtic.mil/descriptivesum/Y2008/Army/0603460A.pdf|title=ARMY RDT&E BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION (R2 Exhibit) - PDF|access-date=2007-07-15|archive-date=2017-03-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170305190804/http://www.dtic.mil/descriptivesum/Y2008/Army/0603460A.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> The U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps collectively plan to buy tens of thousands of JAGMs.<ref>{{cite web |last=Trimble |first=Stephen |date=17 August 2010 |title=VIDEO: Raytheon/Boeing show JAGM direct hit |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2010/08/17/346221/video-raytheonboeing-show-jagm-direct-hit.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100828080311/http://www.flightglobal.com:80/articles/2010/08/17/346221/video-raytheonboeing-show-jagm-direct-hit.html |archive-date=28 August 2010 |access-date=17 August 2010 |website=Flight Global}}</ref> Despite the name of the missile, it is planned to also be launched from ground launchers and boats.

==Description== The Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) program is a follow-on from the unsuccessful AGM-169 Joint Common Missile program, that was cancelled due to budget cuts. JAGM will share basically the same objectives and technologies as the JCM, but will be developed over a longer time scale.<ref name="DEFDAY_01">{{cite web |url=http://www.industrywatch.com/pages/iw2/Story.nsp?story_id=107810071&ID=iw&scategory=Small+Business%3ATools&P=&F=&R=&VNC=hnall |title=Pentagon Plans Industry Day For Joint Air To Ground Missile |work=Defense Daily |volume=234 |issue=60 |access-date=2007-07-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071209121141/http://www.industrywatch.com/pages/iw2/Story.nsp?story_id=107810071&ID=iw&scategory=Small+Business%3ATools&P=&F=&R=&VNC=hnall |archive-date=2007-12-09 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The JAGM has the same form factor as the Hellfire missile which it replaces and is produced on the same production line. The primary increase in capability over the Hellfire is the dual-mode seeker which incorporates both laser designation and millimeter wave radar for target acquisition; the Hellfire missile had these seekers in separate missile variants.

The Department of Defense plans to purchase 26,319 Joint Air-to-Ground Missiles in total, with the production line currently sized to build 1200 per year. More than 10% of the total planned buy had been procured during the Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) phase.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Department of Defense OFFICE OF PREPUBLICATION AND SECURITY REVIEW December 2021 Selected Acquisition Report |url=https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/FOID/Reading%20Room/Selected_Acquisition_Reports/FY_2021_SARS/22-F-0762_JAGM_SAR_2021.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20250118032403/https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/FOID/Reading%20Room/Selected_Acquisition_Reports/FY_2021_SARS/22-F-0762_JAGM_SAR_2021.pdf |archive-date=January 18, 2025 |access-date=January 17, 2025 |website=Executive Services Directorate, Washington Headquarters Services}}</ref> thumb|250x250px|AGM-179 JAGM being loaded onto an AH-1Z Initially an Army program, the AGM-179 is positioned well for a contract from the Navy.

In November 2022, Lockheed Martin flight tested the JAGM-Medium Range, or JAGM-MR, which traveled 10 miles. The version incorporates a tri-mode seeker, adding an imaging sensor, which was originally a requirement for the missile but was dropped due to cost factors. It was added back in the JAGM-MR as seeker technology became more affordable.
