Joint Direct Attack Munition

Abstract

The 5000 lb demonstration is an integration of BLU-113 warhead with an existing production tail kit, scaled if necessary from smaller or larger warhead control design, to provide accurate, precision, reliable, hard target penetration capability. The required accuracy shall be "JDAM like" as defined by the operational requirements community. The greater overall system performance will tighten dispersion capability where multiple weapons are released from the same aircraft on the same pass, and hit the same impact crater. The Blu 113 is an objective requirement in the 2002 ORD JDAM Operational Requirements Document (ORD). Weapon system will have an identical Concept of Operations (CONOPS) as existing USAF inventory for Global Positioning System-aided Inertial Navigation System (GPS- aided INS) weapons, and compatibility with aircraft Operational Flight Profile (OFP). This program is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Componnent Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
