Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, AZ received a $7 million modification to a previously awarded firm-fixed-price contract (N00019-03-C-0001) for one lot of steel and aluminum material and Guidance Electronic Unit Circuit Card assemblies, in support of the fiscal 2006 AGM-154C Joint Stand-Off Weapon Block II Full Rate Production Program. The JSOW-C precision glide bomb incorporates an imaging infrared seeker for high precision, and adds a Broach multi-stage warhead that has both hard target penetration and blast-fragmentation capability.
Work will be performed in Tucson, AZ, and is expected to be complete in February 2008. The Naval Air Systems Command in Patuxent River, MD issued the contract modification. See all DID coverage related to the JSOW precision strike glide bomb.
