The US Department of Defense has awarded Raytheon Systems a $134 million contract to begin full-rate production of the AGM-154A Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) and low-rate production of the AGM-154B variant. The US Navy will receive 328 AGM-154A missiles while the US Air Force gets 75 units. The USN is buying three AGM-154Bs while the USAF is receiving 21. The AGM-154A carries bomblets while the "B" model mounts the BLU-108 smart, anti-armour submunition. The USN also plans to acquire AGM-154Cs with a penetrator warhead.
