The tri-service standoff attack missile is likely the Texas Instruments JSOW missile (Joint StandOff Weapon). The Joint refers to joint military service. I'm currently working on the flight test program to clear the JSOW for the Navy F/A-18 fleet. It will also be cleared for the Air Force F-15 and the Marine AV-8B. No knowledge at this level is classified, by the way. There should be published reports that give more detail about the missile, also. It's pretty cool, and has features that some on this list might find interesting. (wink, wink). Brett Hoffstadt McDonnell Douglas Aerospace ------------------------------ From: "Edward J.

The tri-service standoff attack missile is likely the Texas Instruments JSOW missile (Joint StandOff Weapon). The Joint refers to joint military service. I though the triservice standoff attack weapon was a large system, one of whose features was ground launch capability by Army units as well as air launch by USAF/USN, while JSOW was a pure air launched system, for tactical uses, like the Matra Apache.
