Nice! Cool that there are these kind of sources.
I can add that Raytheon has thrown in their pitch for a (short-term) solution to ASuW. Perhaps in anticipation of competition from JSM and maybe to disrupt Kongsbergs pitch for integration? Just a thought...

Joint Strike Fighter Can Carry Raytheon Joint Standoff Weapon Internally
JSOW C-1 combined with JSF gives warfighter a powerful new capability
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Nov. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) has completed a fit check of the Joint Standoff Weapon in the internal carriage bay of the Joint Strike Fighter aircraft.
"The capabilities of the JSF combined with JSOW C-1's ability to precisely engage moving ships at sea from standoff ranges would give the U.S. and coalition warfighter a powerful capability," said Cmdr. Samuel Hanaki, U.S. Navy JSOW deputy program manager.
During the fit check, Raytheon technicians loaded a JSOW shape in the JSF's internal carriage bay and conducted a series of tests to prove the bay door could close properly without damaging the aircraft or the weapon.
"JSOW C-1 is the world's first net-enabled standoff weapon that can engage a moving maritime target," said Phyllis McEnroe, JSOW program director for Raytheon Missile Systems. "With its more than 110 kilometer range (68 statute miles) and tunnel defeat capability, JSOW C-1 will give members of the JSF a critical capability no other weapon can provide."
About the Joint Standoff Weapon
JSOW is a family of low-cost, air-to-ground weapons that employs an integrated GPS- inertial navigation system and terminal imaging infrared seeker, guiding the weapon to the target. JSOW C-1 adds moving maritime target capability and the two-way strike common weapon datalink to the combat-proven weapon.
JSOW C-1 is the world's first networked weapon, and has a range of more than 110 kilometers (60 nautical miles).
The U.S. Navy completed the first free-flight test of JSOW C-1 on July 26, 2011. |

Lockheed Martin awarded $19.8 million contract to study JSM integration onto F-35 By Dave Majumdar 31 May 2012
http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articl ... 35-372546/
"The US Navy has awarded Lockheed Martin a $19.8 million modification to a previously awarded fixed-price-incentive-fee F-35 Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) IV contract.
The contract modification is for a Kongsberg Joint Strike Missile (JSM) risk reduction study for the Norwegian Ministry of Defence. Lockheed says that Norway is paying for the study with its own funds. No US monies are being put towards the JSM effort, the company emphasizes.
The study will include physical fit checks, wind tunnel tests, engineering analysis, and designing and building of an emulator and adapter "to determine next steps in integrating the JSM into the F-35" according to the US Department of Defense.
The study should be completed by May 2014." |

Hey Spaz, sorry if I'm slow here, but how do you translate this? What is it that the US Navy is paying for actually, when Norway is paying for the study?  |

U.S. tests Norwegian F-35 missile
The chances increase that can sell Kongsberg JSM missile to the F-35.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has entered into an agreement with Lockheed Martin for the testing of the Joint Strike Missile (JSM) from Kongsberg.
- This is a very important step in getting secured JSM-integration on the F-35, says Harald Ă…nnestad who is CEO of Kongsberg Defence Systems.

Norwegian money
The contract is worth $ 20 million (120 million), the DoD report .
This is the Norwegian money stemming from last summer when the Defence Logistics Organisation (Flo) signed a contract with Kongsberg for the further development of JSM, worth 535 million.

These funds finance the development of the JSM 2013, referred to as step two.
Integration with the fighter and the construction of pilots / prototypes are in step three.
Preparing integration
According to the contract should be most of the work, 70 percent, made on the Lockheed Martin plant in Fort Worth, Texas, 20 percent of the air base Arnold in Tullahoma, Tennessee and 10 percent in Kongsberg in Norway.
- We will check the physical models of the missile on a real F-35. It is further advanced wind tunnel tests and analyzes and emulator testing. This will ensure that when the real integration starts, so this goes as smoothly as possible, explains Ă…nnestad.
But it's almost two years. The work is expected to close in May 2014, according to Department of Defense.

Norwegian industry's chance
The Lockheed Martin F-35-Director Tom Burbage visited Norway four months ago, he spoke of JSM as follows:
- It is obvious that the JSM fills a need for performance F-35. The missile has a capacity of several countries called for, not only Norway and the USA. Much good work is done, while much work remains. Among other things, systems integration. But here are several milestones in the years to come.
JSM has a projected export potential of over 20 billion, according to Kongsberg Gruppen the only way to ensure that the F-35 procurement is a Norwegian industrial success.
