Royal Australian Air Force scores direct hit with JSOW C

The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) successfully tested a Raytheon Company Joint Standoff Weapon C (JSOW C) against a hardened wall target at the RAAF Woomera Test Range.

Launched from an F/A-18F Super Hornet at an operationally representative stand-off range and altitude of 25,000 feet, the JSOW C scored a direct hit.

The RAAF test marked the third successful employment of JSOW C this year against one of the most challenging target sets. Previously, two JSOW C air-to-ground weapons also destroyed simulated cave targets in U.S. Navy flight tests at the China Lake flight test range.
