Despite its improvements over the original ''Rifleman'' it soon became apparent the ''JagerMech'' was in desperate need of a redesign to improve survivability on the battlefield.  Utilizing [[lostech]] which had been discovered in the last few years Kallon was able to build a new variant, the JM6-DD; fortuitously it came into production just months prior to the [[Clan Invasion]].  After the [[Wolf's Dragoons]] summit on [[Outreach]], [[First Prince]] [[Hanse Davion]] agreed to share the technical specifications of the JMS-DD with the Kuritans, resulting in these new ''JagerMech''s seeing significant action across the Clans' invasion paths.  After the war nearly every [[regiment]] in the Draconis Combine and [[Federated Commonwealth]] featured new and refitted ''JagerMech''s.<ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u/>

After the [[FedCom Civil War]] further development of the ''JagerMech'' split along three different lines.  The first were simple field refits of the original JM6-DD, such as the H and DG models.  The second was a complete overhaul as part of [[Victor Steiner-Davion]]'s "Redesign for Davion Pride" program, resulting in the ''[[JagerMech III]]''.  The third was the creation of a divergent line, the JM7 series, built on a slightly heavier chassis massing 70 instead of 65 tons that was nevertheless not considered a new 'Mech.  In [[3069]] the ''JagerMech'' factory on Talon was destroyed due to the [[Jihad]], leaving only the Quentin factory to still produce the 'Mech.<ref name=TRO3050u/>
