'''The Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile''' ('''JASSM''') program began production in 1998, with the [[U.S. Air Force]] declaring it operational in 2003. The extended-range variant, JASSM-ER, underwent its first test in 2006, and the initial batch was delivered to the U.S. Air Force in March 2014.

The baseline JASSM has a range of 370 kilometers, while the JASSM-ER (Extended Range) extends that to approximately 1,000 kilometers. The missile’s aerodynamic profile is reminiscent of the [[German]] [[Taurus]] KEPD 350.

The JASSM was first combat tested in [[Syria]] in April 2018 when 19 JASSM-A variants were launched against Syria's Barzah Research and Development Center. In October 2019, JASSM-ER variants were reportedly used in the targeted strike against [[ISIS]] leader [[Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi]]'s hideout.
