Kongsberg, Boeing Complete Joint Strike Missile Check on F/A-18 Super Hornet

Kongsberg and Boeing plan to conduct wind tunnel testing for the Block II Super Hornet early next year. 

“Kongsberg is proud to work with Boeing to offer JSM capability on F-18. The completion of the fit-check on F/A-18 F further validates the JSM compatibility with existing fleet of aircraft and provides a near term strong capability against advanced threats,” says Harald Ånnestad, President Kongsberg Defence Systems. 

The Joint Strike Missile (JSM) is a 5th generation long-range stealthy precision strike missile for sea- and land targets, designed as a long-range, low-observable stand-off weapon able to engage high threat land and naval targets.
