Lockheed Martin Tests JAGM Quad Launch Canister System
Lockheed Martin conducted a test of its JAGM Quad Launcher (JQL) in late August, utilizing a government-provided Joint Air-Ground Missile (JAGM) against a target tank at the Yuma Proving Ground.
The test aimed to validate the JQL as a launch platform for JAGM, addressing a perceived capability gap in defending against larger group UAS.
- The test successfully launched a JAGM at a 45-degree elevation.
- This marked the first time JAGM was launched from a canister system.
Additional tests are planned to fully validate the vertical launch capability and the missile's performance in a counter-UAS role.
