The missile has a range of 1800 km.

JASSM-XR, AKA AGM-158D, is the latest variant.

The AGM-158D upgrade includes a missile control unit, changes to the wings, a different paint coating, an Electronic Safe and Arm Fuze, a secure GPS receiver, and program protection requirements.

Guidance is via inertial navigation with global positioning system updates.

An imaging infrared seeker provides target recognition and terminal homing.

A data link allows the missile to transmit its location and status during flight, allowing improved bomb damage assessment.

The warhead is a WDU-42/B 1,000 lb (450 kg) penetrator.
