Lockheed Martin tested its JAGM missile fired vertically from a land-based launcher in January 2026, marking a first for the system.
Lockheed Martin successfully tested its Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) launched vertically at a 90-degree angle from a land-based JAGM Quad Launcher (JQL) at China Lake in January 2026, marking the first time the air-to-ground missile has been fired vertically from a surface platform.
The test demonstrated the JAGM’s potential as a multi-domain counter-uncrewed aerial system (C-UAS) solution, with the JQL’s modular, 360-degree capable launcher enabling rapid, flexible deployment across land, sea, and air.
Despite its effectiveness and network-centric capabilities, the missile’s cost—over $720,000 each—remains a major barrier, especially compared to low-cost drones, prompting allies like the UK and Estonia to explore cheaper alternatives.
