Boeing and Kongsberg Defense Systems of Norway recently completed a successful check of the Joint Strike Missile (JSM) on an F/A-18 Super Hornet at the Boeing St. Louis facility to ensure the weapons fit on the aircraft’s external pylons.
The JSM, designed and built by Kongsberg, is a long-range, low-observable stand-off weapon able to engage land and naval targets. The test brings the JSM one step closer to Super Hornet compatibility.
Boeing and Kongsberg are planning to conduct wind tunnel testing on a Block II Super Hornet.
