Joint Direct Attack Munition
The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a precision-guided bomb that converts unguided bombs into smart munitions. It uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) for accurate targeting, allowing it to hit specific targets with minimal collateral damage. JDAMs can be deployed from various aircraft, making them versatile in military operations.
JDAMs are designed to enhance the effectiveness of airstrikes by providing improved accuracy and reliability. They can be used in various weather conditions and are compatible with a range of bomb types, including the GBU-31 and GBU-38. This capability makes JDAMs a crucial tool for modern warfare.
