Raytheon officials say the company recently delivered the 2,000th Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) to the US Air Force. The event marked 48 months of on-time deliveries to JSOW users—USAF, Navy, and Marine Corps, assert company officials. JSOW production moves into Block II next year—at a “significantly lower” unit price, they say. Raytheon and the Navy are working on a Block III version for 2009.
