Talk:AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon

Copyright

Note: Much of this page is from sources, none posted copyrights on the page, but someone should verify they are not copyrighted somewhere, I could not confirm they were public domain. In particular I am unsure of the FAS site page and the USN Fact File page. I am new to this, perhaps someone can clarify this for me, or tell me what I need to look for on the source pages. --Imjustmatthew 01:04, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

Designation

Is JSOW a missile or a guided/gliding bomb? The word 'weapon' is often used instead of the more specific 'missile' or 'bomb'. It has the AGM-prefix for 'Air-to-Ground Missile', yet it's catagorized as 'Air-dropped bombs' at the bottom of the page. So which is it? --Jigen III 11:08, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It is not powered so it is a glider bomb. A missile is " An object or weapon that is fired, thrown, dropped, or otherwise projected at a target; a projectile." so it can also be a missile. --Busterdog 03:12, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

So all new guided bombs will now be grouped together with missiles (powered) with the AGM prefix? 205.174.22.27 03:08, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

The same thing happened to the AGM-62 Walleye 2601:41:C401:6B80:3883:51F5:6FF:A992 (talk) 02:10, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

I think AGM just means Air to Ground Missile. --Busterdog 02:57, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Guided bombs are traditionally designated GBU, for Guided Bomb Unit. AGM is traditionally given to powered munitions. I don't understand the sudden inconsistancy. 205.174.22.28 06:05, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

According to [1], the designations AGM-154D and AGM-154E have been set aside for possible future powered versions of JSOW, so it looks like that possibility was in the program from the start. Riddley 03:49, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Datalink

The JSOW does not have a datalink (yet) so I am going to delete that.--Busterdog 03:10, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

In fiction

In the Tom Clancy Novel The Bear And The Dragon the weapon is used. Is that something worth noting?

Simplifying the lead

How about simplifying the lead guys, I had to watch a youtube video to find out the JSOW is basically a bomb with wings, that travels a long distance so the pilots can fly away before getting in range of enemy AA. Ryan4314 (talk) 00:14, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

More info

I did not really understood what was going on until I read this. How about adding a little more background? Thanks! (I would do it, but I have no clue about most military weapons and have little time for extensive research) Brusegadi (talk) 06:36, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Used by China?

Seems unlikely. China is also not listed under Operators. 72.68.68.47 (talk) 13:37, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
