The Jagm rocket demonstrated its capabilities to damage both fixed and moving goals on the water. At the same time, combat vehicles note that AH-1Z can potentially use a new ammunition as an anti-ship missile by integration into the Link 16 data network and the possibility of radioing in a third-party target. According to experts, the AGM-179 Jagm was replaced by Hellfire and Maverick-managed missiles and has some unification with them.
In particular, the new ammunition uses the hellfire engine, but has a semi -active laser guide and onboard millimeter radar, which allows to implement the concept of "fired and forgot". The rocket is able to capture the target at a distance of 500 meters and strike it up to 8 kilometers. According to developers with Lockheed Martin, the likelihood of lesions of moving goals with Jagm is up to 95%, while a similar indicator for Hellfire is about 35%.
