Lara Seligman writes Australia agreed to fund the project and chose BAE Systems‘ Australian arm to help develop the RF-seeking platform.
The two countries could also share the cost of embedding JSMs onto their F-35 jets through the agreement, the publication reports.
Kongsberg Defence Systems manufactures the long-range missile system for anti-surface warfare and naval fire support operations, the company wrote on its website.
The missile’s RF seeker will be built with an electronic signature-based imaging infrared device intended to locate and detect targets, Seligman reports.
