"The AGM–154E JSOW–ER adds an engine, and supporting components, to the
JSOW C Airframe. The JSOW–ER uses the
300-pound Maverick Warhead due to its
smaller size, thereby creating room for fuel, but maintains the same penetration
capability as the JSOW C."
The AGM–154 JSOW is used by the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Air Force, and allows aircraft to attack well-defended targets in day, night, and adverse weather conditions. The AGM–154C carries a BROACH warhead. The BROACH warhead incorporates an advanced multi stage warhead. The JSOW uses the GPS Precise Positioning System (PPS), which provides for a more accurate capability than the commercial version of GPS.
The JSOW–C utilizes GPS/INS guidance and an uncooled imaging infrared seeker for terminal guidance, Autonomous Acquisition, and provides a precision targeting, 500- pound-class tandem warhead that is the U.S. Navy’s primary standoff weapon against hardened targets.

C1:ssä, joka on HX:n molemmissa DSCA:ssa on puolestaan BROACH eli monivaiheinen taistelukärki. ER siis vaikuttaisi hylänneen BROACHin, mikä ei ole välttämättä parannus vaan haiskahtaa jopa huononnukselta lisäkantaman ehdoilla. Ottaen huomioon C1:n 225 kg (500 lb) BROACH vs. Maverickin 136 kg (300 lb) WDU-24/B penetrating blast-fragmentation.

"Bomb Royal Ordnance Augmented Charge" "The BROACH MWS provides blast/fragmentation effects as well as enhanced penetration capability against hard point targets. The Broach warhead, consisting of an augmenting charge and a follow-through bomb, can be set to explode both warheads simultaneously or sequentially. The AGM-154C is designed to attack point targets vulnerable to blast and fragmentation effects and point targets vulnerable to penetration, such as industrial facilities, logistical systems, and hardened facilities. BROACH MWS development and integration risk is reduced significantly by the on going BROACH developmental efforts of the United Kingdom Storm Shadow Program, the JSOW Foreign Warhead Comparative Testing previously conducted, and the early provisioning for BROACH in the JSOW Unitary Roadmap."
"BROACH is actually multiple explosive payloads stacked together." "The BROACH feature a two-stage warhead where a small(ish) shaped charge first blows a hole in the target, which the main warhead the flies through and detonates on the inside"
"BROACH is actually multiple explosive payloads stacked together. The weapon uses a 220-pound initial charge to pierce reinforced concrete and other barriers and a second 320-pound warhead with a delay fuze option to destroy whatever is inside."
