CHINA LAKE, Calif., Feb. 16 (UPI) -- A new Joint Standoff Weapon variant has proved its capability in an operational test conducted by Raytheon and the U.S. Navy.
The precision-guided glide bomb, in the new C-1 configuration, was dropped from about 20,000 feet by an F/A-18 Super Hornet and successfully engaged a broad set of land targets, Raytheon said.
