Joint Direct Attack Munition
The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a low-cost guidance kit that converts existing unguided
gravity bombs
, or "
dumb bombs
", into accurate, all-weather
"smart" munitions
. JDAM equipped bombs are guided to their target by an integrated
inertial guidance system
coupled with a
Global Positioning System
(GPS) receiver for enhanced accuracy, giving them a published range of up to 15 nautical miles from the release point. JDAM is a joint
United States Air Force
and
United States Navy
program. It is in service with the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and the
U.S. Marine Corps
.
