Raytheon conducted the first free-flight test of a powered version of its Joint Stand-Off Weapon (JSOW) glide bomb on Oct. 1 2009. The extended-range JSOW-ER flew for 260 miles after release from a US Navy F/A-18 over the Pacific missile test range at Pt Mugu, Calif. The JSOW-ER is powered by a Hamilton Sundstrand TJ-150 turbojet, the same engine as used in Raytheon's Miniature Air-Laucnhed Decoy (MALD) for the US Air Force. So far, JSOW-ER is just a demonstration program.

JSOW-ER has better range

How does this compare to the MBDA storm shadow, out of interest?
