JDAM
Abstract
The 5000 lb demonstration is an integration of the BLU-113 warhead with a guidance kit that provides accurate, reliable, tight dispersion, hard target penetration capability. JDAM accuracy expands the drill down CONOPS used by the GBU-31 (2000 lb class warhead) to a 5000 lb concept, holding harder and deeper targets at risk. This is an objective requirement of the 2001 JDAM ORD. The 5000 lb weapon expands USG capability using JDAM proven performance, identical CONOPS as existing JDAM inventory, and compatibility with aircraft Operational Flight Profile (OFP). This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
