Joint Common Missile

Cancelled in 2005, the Joint Common Missile (JCM) was a U.S. program to replace a number of service-specific short-range tactical missiles, such as the AGM-114 Hellfire, AGM-65 Maverick, and BGM-71 TOW, principally air-launched but may include variants launched from the surface. It has been replaced by the Joint Air-Ground Missile program.

While the JCM program ostensibly dealt with all platforms, its focus was the also-cancelled RAH-66 Comanche scout helicopter, and before the requirements analysis done for the Future Combat Systems program, which was more recently cancelled as an entire program but parts of which continue.

For the JCM demonstration, Lockheed Martin won the contract over Raytheon and a team of Northrop Grumman and Boeing. It was progressing reasonably well until its cancellation. The UK was also interested in participating in what would have been a multibillion dollar effort, with the initial US procurement seen as 54,000 missiles.
