AUSA 2025: Lockheed Martin Debuts Ground-Launched JAGM
Lockheed Martin performed a live fire of a ground-launched version of the AGM-179 Joint Air-to-Ground Missile at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, in August 2025.
The first live fire of a ground-launched AGM-179 Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) took place with a US Army-provided munition, announced Lockheed Martin executives on 8 October.
The ground-launched version of JAGM, called JAGM Quad Launcher (JQL), was fired using the company's internal investment funding on 28 August and was a successful milestone, said Casey Walsh, multidomain missile systems director at Lockheed Martin.
According to Walsh,
there is no existing requirement for the vertical launcher with the US Army, but army officials were present at the launch.
