Replacing the legendary Hellfire missile

After nearly four decades of service, the legendary Hellfire missile has a replacement on the way in Lockheed Martins AGM179 Joint AirtoGround Missile (JAGM). On August 30, the U. S. Army approved the JAGM for fullrate production. This new weapon system may look an awful lot like its predecessors, but the JAGM builds upon the Hellfires lowcost, highaccuracy legacy by mashing multiple targeting systems into a single weapon. This results in one missile that can do the job of both Hellfire missiles currently in American and allied inventories, and soon it will replace at least two other missiles currently in service.
