Derived from the [[Joint Common Missile]] (JCM) that was cancelled in 2005, the U.S. '''Joint Air-Ground Missile (JAGM)''' program, joint among the Army, Navy, and Air Force, would replace short-range tactical missiles including: | |||
*[[AGM-114 Hellfire]] carried by Army [[AH-64 Apache]] attack helicopters, [[ARH-70 Arapaho]] scout helicopters, and [[MQ-1C Skywarrior]] [[unmanned aerial vehicle]]s (UAV) and MH-60R/S Seahawk helicopters | |||
*[[AGM-65 Maverick]] aboard Marine [[AH-1Z Viper]] helicopters, Navy [[F-18 Hornet]] and [[F-18 Super Hornet]] aircraft, and possibly the [[F-35 Joint Strike Fighter]], [[MQ-8 Fire Scout]] and A160 Hummingbird UAVs, and some armed [[C-130]] aircraft | |||
*[[BGM-71 TOW]] on the AH-1Z; it is not clear if ground-launched TOWs are under consideration | |||
The goal is a missile that is 110 Lbs, 7” diameter, 70” long, with a range of 0.5 – 16 km when fired from helicopters and 2 – 28 km if fired from fixed wing aircraft.<ref name=DID2010-09-15>{{citation | |||

The main foreign competitor is the [[Brimstone]] missile built by a Boeing and MBDA team.
