JSM will be carried externally on other aircraft. The Joint Strike Missile is the only fifth-generation cruise missile designed to be launched from the internal weapons bay of the F-35A. Raytheon Missiles & Defense and Norwegian defense company Kongsberg Defence Aerospace are developing JSM for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The English marketing name Naval Strike Missile was. The original Norwegian name was Nytt sjmlsmissil (literally New sea target missile, indicating that it is the successor of the Penguin missile ). Its imaging infrared seeker provides autonomous target recognition, and a two-way data link offers retargeting and mission abort options. The Joint Strike Missile (JSM) successfully completed a missile flight test in the United States in November 2015. The Naval Strike Missile (NSM) is an anti-ship and land-attack missile developed by the Norwegian company Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA). The Joint Strike Missile’s navigation system allows it to rapidly change course in flight and fly at low, radar-evading altitudes. Its long standoff range, or distance from the launching aircraft to the target, keeps pilots out of harm’s way. The qualification and integrations is well under way and funded. Oslo expects the combination to achieve operational readiness “in the early 2020s”.The Joint Strike Missile – or JSM – is a long-distance weapon that takes on heavily defended targets on land and at sea. The JSM is based on the well-proven and modern technology of NSM. “This agreement takes the process one step further, with Australia agreeing to provide expertise in missile control and guidance systems.”Īustralian defence minister Kevin Andrews says: “Participating now in a cooperative JSM development programme with Norway will maximise the cost-effectiveness of Australia’s contribution, and ensure the weapon capability is developed and integrated onto the F-35A in the timeline required by Australia, should the Joint Strike Missile be ultimately considered for acquisition by government later this decade."ĭesigned for internal and external carriage by the F-35, the JSM will be suitable for use as an anti-ship and land-attack missile.
These steps are critical precursors to integration of the missile on the Joint Strike Fighter (F-35), which is of national importance to the defense of Norway. The Joint Strike Missile is the only fifth-generation cruise missile designed to be launched from the internal weapons bay of the F-35A. “Norway and Australia have maintained a close dialogue for several years regarding the JSM within the framework of the multinational F-35 partnership,” Norway’s defence ministry says. The Norwegian Ministry of Defense supported by OSD was having difficulty making progress in qualification and integration of the Joint Strike Missile (JSM). Under an expanded agreement discussed at the Avalon air show near Melbourne, the ministries will work together to investigate the potential of both air forces acquiring the weapon. The Australian and Norwegian defence ministries have strengthened their relationship on the latter’s in-development Kongsberg Joint Strike Missile (JSM), boosting the chances of Canberra acquiring the weapon for its future fleet of Lockheed Martin F-35s.
