Lockheed Martin Develops Technique to Integrate Advanced Weapons on Current Aircraft, Sooner and at Lower Cost
After sifting thru the marketing jargon in this press release, you will find what this article is trying to say is that LM has modified the operational flight program software of the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) so it responds to the F-16 aircraft’s existing Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) interface.
Basically, the aircraft “thinks” it is carrying and launching a JSOW from its wing.
The same existing weapon interface has been used for integrating the Wind Corrected Muntions Dispenser (WCMD) on U.S. Air Force F-16s.
