GE Aerospace’s propulsion division has secured a contract from the U.S. Air Force to supply engines for the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) program, the company confirmed on Monday.
The agreement, awarded to GE Aerospace’s Tinker AFB-based operations, covers the production and delivery of propulsion systems integral to the JASSM’s operational capability. Lockheed Martin, the prime contractor for the JASSM program, will integrate the engines into the missile system.
The U.S. Air Force did not disclose the financial terms or duration of the contract. A GE Aerospace spokesperson declined to provide additional details, citing confidentiality clauses.
JASSM is a long-range, precision-guided missile designed for standoff strikes against high-value, heavily defended targets. The missile’s propulsion system, developed by GE Aerospace, has been a key component in its deployment across U.S. and allied military platforms.
The contract reinforces GE Aerospace’s role in defense aerospace, following its separation from General Electric in July 2024. The company’s propulsion segment remains a critical supplier to both military and commercial aviation sectors.
The Air Force’s selection of GE Aerospace underscores the reliability of its propulsion technology in high-stakes defense applications.
