Missile scores two more successful tests; JASSM glitches found, fixed; Maritime version promising

Article Abstract:

Lockheed Martin Corporation has identified and eliminated glitches that caused earlier failures of the Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM), and the weapon in January 2006 scored two more success to roll up a recent lustrous 11-out-of-13-attempts test record. Corrections of the glitches have addressed congressional doubts about the JASSM program, leaving it on track with $100 million in current funding.
