The Legendary Hellfire Missile Replacement are Coming - AGM-179 JAGM

AGM-179 Joint Air-to-Ground Missile ( JAGM ) Replacing the legendary the Hellfire missile. In the realm of advanced weapon systems, there arose a need for a new air-to-ground missile that could surpass its predecessors. The story begins with the remarkable minds of Lockheed Martin, a renowned manufacturer known for their expertise in cutting-edge technologies. Driven by the desire to create a weapon of unmatched precision and versatility, Lockheed Martin embarked on a quest to invent the AGM-179 Joint Air-to-Ground Missile, also known as the JAGM. Countless hours were spent in research and development, combining the best features of the AGM-114 Hellfire and the BGM-71 TOW missile to forge a new path forward.

After listening to this puff piece I'm pretty sure Lockheed Martin can walk on water and turn water into wine. There is just nothing these miracle workers can't do. Amen.

[@mattmckinstry]

😂 was thinking the same thing

[@stepjohn100]

I recently read that the U.S. Army is less than impressed with the JAGM since better options for long-range, fire-and-forget weapons have emerged on the market. The desire for much longer range is not satisfied by the JAGM.

[@34ccsn]

If you can't make large numbers affordability it won't matter how good it is.

[@iainbaker6916]

So it’s basically the laser guided and radar guided hellfires combined into one missile?

[@joemccarthy2109]

And with 324,000 dollars you can buy the spike nlos with a range of 31 miles with optic guidance, you can guide the missile into a window for crying out loud.

[@lukeamato2348]

And absolutely devastating

[@matthewhuszarik4173]

I am sure they aren’t releasing all its specifications. That would just be stupid.

[@ingemar_von_zweigbergk]

missile that can hit both air targets and ground targets, cool

[@jdogdarkness]

I can't find anywhere else saying it can lock onto aircraft. However some systems like Javelin & I believe hellfire were listen as ATG but could also hit some rotary aircraft. Maybe the same deal here?

[@flagpoleeip]

What a self-congratulatory video.

[@leftycosta1899]

JAGM range is no greater than hellfire. Its simply a targeting upgrade. At least at this point.

[@nicholasmaude6906]

@@dawadahephraimyasharahla8602 I should point out that jamming the local GPS merely degrades the accuracy of the JDAM as it has a digital-autopilot and that jamming means nothing if it's fitted with a terminal-seeker.

[@nicholasmaude6906]

No doubt its' warhead and rocket-motor will be upgraded in the near future.

Allows them to more than double the price though, higher profit margins because "it's new".

Seeing it fired from a C130 was cool! Imagine this in Ukraine with a 5+ mile range and the new autonomous targetting!??

[@jacobschnberg5382]

the aircraft would be shot down immidiately because Russia has far more range than 5 + miles

This video sounds like a business sales pitch for LM. 😂

[@hellmarch3043]

it seems that America is starting to fall behind in missile systems. 8km pretty short range nowadays.

[@DoronL73]

Doesn't look better than spike nlos in any aspect (price, range etc.) except for the radar, but it is 100% US made, and that seems to be the no. 1 important feature for US army

[@scourge3162]

Nlos is much bigger on the wing tho. This looks like a 1 for 1 replacement for the 114.

[@DoronL73]

@@scourge3162 I guess than the SPIKE ER2 would do, BTW, US army already tested Apache AH 64 with NLOS

[@hawklord100]

The Brit's are upgrading their Brimestone missiles as well, Hellfire and Brimstone coming to you!

[@LordVader5738]

I don't know if it will be any better than the Hellfire. The Hellfire cost half, has similar operational distance, similar warhead, and on top of that it has decades of proven combat experience which has proven its reliability. I can't see the upgrade, to be honest. At least not against the Hellfire.

[@recoil53]

I think the idea is that it helps load out and logistics. You can just load up a launcher with these and not care about what targeting is needed for the mission. And as long as you have these missiles in stock locally, you don't worry about having the wrong type.

[@AdamosDad]

I need these on my F-150.

I'd think a multiple of mass units coming from one missile would be the best overall.

Essentially a Brimstone clone only with a shorter range. Also, Brimstone is capable of being launched from the ground.

[@the_patriot7]

who make the Brimstone ???

[@terrycalder-chapman5775]

MBDA UK, Henlow

[@xenomorphelv4265]

324,000 $ each ? ouuuch....that's four times the cost of an Hellfire missile. if the missions only request to laser designate targets JAGM is not the best option. How can they justify such cost when, for example, MBDA UK is producing the Brimstone missile with similar Millimeter wave radar/SAL guidances and similar flight performances for nearly half the cost per unit ? hoping this cost will decrease to the extend that more and more are produced and are progressively replacing the hellfire (and for the sake of tax payers).

[@RichardsWorld]

3 for a million bucks. What a deal.

[@laernulienlaernulienlaernu8953]

Whenever anyone mentions Hellfire missiles or Sidewinder rockets it always brings back memories of the classic game Desert Strike on the Sega Megadrive/Genesis

[@robertungsod691]

I wonder why the range is to short.

Why was an air target being shot down presented as JAGAM?

[@gregparrott]

The video content is confusing. This is represented as strictly an air-to-ground missile. Yet the video frequently shows ground based launching without once mentioning that it can also be ground launched.

[@loupgarou-dj3tm]

It can be launched other ways, but it's almost exclusively used for ATG. At 300 K per bang, there are much cheaper ways to do things from the ground.

[@gregparrott]

@@loupgarou-dj3tm Makes sense. Thanks for the reply.

[@matthewhuszarik4173]

They said it was supposed to replace both the Hellfire and Tow missiles. So that would guess that mean both an air and ground launch versions

[@wsdimenna5244]

Need to get price down . Excessive. Cost not certain it 5 times better then hellfire. U can fire 3 hell fire at one target and still cheaper then this .

[@paouvous]

SPIKE NLOS has 30mile range. 6 miles seems low

[@snsproduc]

I'm pretty sure the whole point of this weapon is it's not post to be over the horizon. meaning it don't need something else to help it find its target.

[@paouvous]

@@snsproduc Depending on the altitude, 30 miles is not over the horizon. It takes a height of only 200 meters (600 feet) to see at 50km/30mile distance. An Apache can fly low, lift for a few seconds to 200-250m acquire and release and drop down again out of any kind of air defence. This is the most effective way to take down airdefence other than a HARM missile or simple drones.

[@verdebusterAP]

The NLOS has longer range but only usable with drones and helicopters The JAGM can be used with different types of aircraft The NLOS is design mainly for surface to surface firing in situations where the IDF may have to deal with contested air space

[@brycebyrdsong2218]

$300,000 for one missile and they say that’s cost-effective more like gouging the US government because one company has a complete monopoly over a very important weapon. 😂

[@bigbob1699]

So right now we are dumping all the old Hell Fires on the poor Russians?

[@djoswald9128]

Have you ever noticed, not a single weapons manufacturer has to account. For the absurd BS costs of what they produce?🖕? Please tell me how it cost $365,000 to make this freaking missile! BULL SHIT!🤬! I think it is time these weapon manufacturers give account of production costs!🤔!

​@ixyzyxi but the old system didn't have a problem blowing it up. And you can say the same for an RPG-7, cheaper than a hellfire. Missiles need the longer range, as in Ukraine or other wars showed, short legged missled pt the unch platforms in risk.

[@robertjohnston8531]

@@WarWithIn Actually in Ukraine in urban warfare the short range NLAW was found to be more useful than longer ranged ATGMs. Each has it's use.

[@WarWithIn]

@@robertjohnston8531 I was referring to the attack helicopter/drones, but you do make a point, as now even the Hydra (APKWS)70mm rockets being guided now, which works well for unarmoured targets. The reason I was talking about longer range weapons, was the amount of helicopters lost in Ukraine by both sides, even fighter 😳 fell to the manpads, and we are not talking about big SAM systems. I remember the 1973 October war, when the Egyptian Airdefence forced the IDF to get to lower Altitude and then they were attacked by Shilka's and Sa-7s.
