Finally! A USAF acronym related to The Rolling Stones

rock&roll_104_mick_jagger.jpg
The US Air Force has come up with a acronym: JAGR.

It's appears for the first time I'm aware of in a Lockheed Martin press release issued this morning about the extended-range version of the Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM).

The flight test objectives were to validate new hardware and software in the Extended Range missile, including new wing molds and the JAGR-S in the ER configuration.  The JAGR-S is an advanced Global Positioning System receiver that incorporates anti-jamming capability.

We note sadly that this does not tell us what JAGR-S stands for, but I'll take a guess: "Joint Advanced GPS Receiver-SAASM". The embedded SAASM acronym stands for the Selected Availability Anti-Spoofing Module.

And any reference to The Rolling Stones, whether intended or not, is welcomed here.
