The AGM-179 Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) is an American military program to develop an air-to-surface missile, to replace the current air-launched BGM-71 TOW, AGM-114 Hellfire, and AGM-65 Maverick missiles. The U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps collectively plan to buy tens of thousands of JAGMs. Despite the name of the missile, it is planned to also be launched from ground launchers and boats.
