JASSM program began production in 1998 and was declared operational in 2003. In 2006 an extended-range variant, known as '''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.
