The Netherlands Ministry of Defence (MoD) has requested to purchase the Lockheed Martin Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile-Extended Range (JASSM-ER) system for its F-35 fleet, the authority announced on 3 April.

The procurement is intended to bolster the Netherlands' long-range strike capabilities, and if approved by the US government, would meet a requirement detailed in the 2022 Defence Memorandum for long-range weapons, the announcement said.

A Netherlands MoD spokesperson was unable to detail to Janes the number of units requested, although they did note that it would be comparable to the quantity acquired from other European countries. Deliveries are expected to begin from 2027, pending approval, they added.

The JASSM is a precision autonomous stand‐off weapon designed for long-range and well-defended targets and is available in two main variants – the JASSM Baseline and the JASSM Extended Range, which encompasses the JASSM-ER/AGM‐158B, the JASSM‐ER/AGM-158B-2, the JASSM-ER/AGM-158B-3, and the JASSM-ER/AGM-158D.
