(Joint Stand-Off Weapon). Non-motorized, gliding weapon with folding upper wings. It can also be described as a gliding precision-guided container or glider bomb. For targets left over after AGM-158, when the effectiveness of the enemy's PVO had already declined. Guidance is provided by INS systems supplemented by GPS. Of course, it supports the idea of "attack from a distance" as well as the "fire and forget" philosophy. It is not limited by darkness or weather. Certification for the B-2A Spirit bombers was achieved in early 1999, and for the B-two-plane carry the following year. The B-1B Lancers were to have it in service by 2002.
Warhead
The AGM-154A contains 145 pieces of the BLU-97/B CEM multirole submunition. Price per missile: $280,000. The AGM-154B warhead consists of 6 pieces of anti-tank submunitions BLU-108/B SFW. Price per missile: 484 thousand USD. The AGM-154C is fitted with a penetrating (reportedly tandem) warhead BLU-111/B, which is a modified GP bomb Mk.82.
The information is available to you, I wrote it just for you. The end guidance is provided by the operator of the&aircraft-carrier, the missile has an IC camera. (Guidance similar to GBU-15.) There is also a version of the AGM-154D planned with a soft warhead (very interesting) consisting of BLU-114/B.
For the record, what would one cost our Air Force? A version $282k, B version $484k, C version $719k. It can be carried by a wide variety of aircraft: F/A-18A/B/C/D/E/F, AV-8B, F-14A/B/D, F-16C/D, F-15E, F-117, B-1B, B-52.
