Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM)
Abstract
The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) program is a joint Air Force/Navy program with the Air Force as the lead acquisition service. Designated Acquisition Category IC, this program upgrades the existing inventory of general purpose bombs (MK-84, BLU-109, MK-82 and MK-83) by integrating the bombs with a field installed guidance kit using a Global Positioning System Aided Inertial Navigation System. JDAM provides an accurate, adverse weather capability. JDAM is integrated with the B-52H, B-2A, B-1B, F-16C/D, F/A-18A+/C/D/E/F, F-15E, A-10C, AV-8B and F-22A aircraft.
