Associated support items include, but are not limited to, replacement parts, program management, engineering, logistics, test support, support equipment, software/hardware upgrades to support production missiles, associated data, and any other supplies or services needed to sustain the program over the life of the system, as well as all facilities, equipment, labor, tools and test equipment. Sustainment activities include JASSM/LRASM system repair, container requirements, and repairable/replaceable components of these end items plus the repair infrastructure; and any other supplies or services needed to sustain the JASSM/LRASM program over the life of the system.

Repair infrastructure includes program management, replacement parts, special tooling maintenance, business management, hardware demilitarization/disposal and administrative support. Sustainment requirements are anticipated to include the capability and capacity to repair non-warranted missiles and other support items that may occur proportional to the estimated increased missile quantities listed above. The fulfillment of the supplies/services listed above requires substantial initial investment and an extended period of preparation for manufacturing and production.
