Raytheon has successfully completed fit-checks for the AGM-154C-1 Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW C-1) in the internal carriage bay of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). The checks ensured that the weapon fitted into the bay with sufficient clearance for the doors to operate unhindered.

JSOW C-1 will add a significant attack capability to the JSF’s repertoire. It is the latest member of the modular JSOW family, and Raytheon claims it is the world’s first net-enabled standoff weapon. The weapon uses an integrated GPS inertial navigation system with imaging infrared terminal guidance, and has been used widely in combat in both its AGM-154A version (with combined effects warhead) and the AGM-154C (with a unitary Broach warhead). The weapon is unpowered, but has a glide range of over 60 miles.
