JDAM DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
The 5000lb demonstration is an integration of BLU-113 warhead with a Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) tail kit 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 of the 2002 JDAM Operational Requirements Document (ORD). The weapon system will have an identical Concept of Operations (CONOPS) to that of existing USAF inventory for Global Positioning System-aided Inertial Navigation System (GPS-aided INS) weapons as well as compatibility with aircraft Operational Flight Programs (OFPs). BA-7 - 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.
