AGM-154C
- Mfg: Raytheon - Mass: 483 to 497 kg (1,065 to 1,095 lb) - Length: 4.10m - Diameter: 0.33m - Wingspan: 2.70m Warheads: - BLU-97/B - Combined Effects Bomblets (JSOW A) - BROACH multi-stage warhead (JSOW C) The baseline JSOW has a warhead containing 145 BLU-97/B combined effects submunitions. The submunitions have anti-armor, anti-materiel, and anti-personnel effects. The AGM- 154A is typically used as a SEAD weapon. The AGM-154C uses an Imaging Infrared (IIR) terminal seeker with autonomous guidance. The AGM-154C carries the BROACH warhead. This two stage 225 kg (500 lb) warhead is made up from a WDU-44 shaped augmenting warhead and a WDU-45 follow through bomb. The weapon is designed to attack hardened targets. It entered service with the US Navy in February 2005.
The AGM-154 is the result of a combined Navy/Air Force venture to produce a precision-guided glide bomb, first introduced in 1988 and first employed during Operation Desert Fox. The AGM-154 uses an INS/GPS guidance system to navigate to its target. The bomb is unpowered, but the extending glide fins give it a range of around 70 nautical miles when dropped from high altitudes. The bomb weighs around 1,000 pounds. The AGM-154 development program is widely considered to be one of the best successes in project management in the defense industry. The program is often used as an example in the industry and in academia.
