Kongsberg and Boeing complete Joint Strike Missile (JSM) Check on F/A-18 Super Hornet

F/A-18F JSM fittedKongsberg Defence Systems and Boeing recently completed a successful fit-check of the Joint Strike Missile (JSM) on an F/A-18F Super Hornet at the Boeing St. Louis facility to ensure the weapons fit on the aircraft’s external pylons. The test brings the JSM one step closer to Super Hornet compatibility.

The Joint Strike Missile (JSM) is a 5th generation long-range stealthy precision strike missile for sea- and land targets. Boeings F-18E/F multirole fighter is one of the most capable and successful international fighter platforms.
