Senkaku Sentinels - Air War over the East China Sea

<< < (4/4)

apophenia:
Right. So, maybe, the TSSAM (or derivative) makes more sense as an external store for the F-35s once the F-2M Kais begin to phase out of service.

GTX_Admin:
I would say that the AGM-158 has largely taken over the role the AGM-137 was envisioned for.  You also have the Kongsberg NSM/JSM coming in the future and it is definitely able to fit inside an F-35:

elmayerle:
Yeah, AGM-158 has taken over the role envisioned for AGM-137A, it was started very shortly after AGM-137A was cancelled.  I do believe, though, that the AGM-137A/BGM-137B family was more modular and would better adapt itself to ship-launched or ground-launched LO anti-ship missiles.  Too, unlike AGM-158, it was designed for all-aspect stealth, even in carriage.
