The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a guidance kit that converts unguided bombs, or "dumb bombs", into all-weather precision-guided munitions (PGMs). JDAM-equipped bombs are guided by an integrated inertial guidance system coupled to a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, giving them a published range of up to 15 nautical miles (28 km).

With the addition of a new tail section that contains an inertial navigational system and a global positioning system guidance control unit, JDAM improves the accuracy of unguided, general purpose bombs in any weather condition. JDAM is a joint U.S. Air …

GBU-24 Paveway III or simply GBU-24 is a family of laser-guided bombs, a sub-group of the larger Raytheon Paveway III family of weapons. The Paveway guidance package consists of a seeker package attached to the nose of the weapon, and a wing kit attached to the rear to provide stability and greater range.

The Guided Bomb Unit‐72 (GBU‐72), also known as the Advanced 5K (A5K) Penetrator, is a bunker busting bomb developed in the United States. The GBU-72 is described as a 5,000 lb (2,300 kg) class precision-guided bunker busting bomb which uses a JDAM guidance kit. [3]

The GBU-54 (V)/B series is the Laser JDAM variant of the GBU-38 (V)/B 500 lb class JDAM. It consists of a GBU-38 (V)/B bomb fitted with a DSU-38/B laser homing target detection device.

Mission The Joint Direct Attack Munition is a guidance tail kit that converts existing unguided free-fall bombs into accurate, adverse weather "smart" munitions. With the addition of a new tail section that contains an inertial navigational system and a,

Dimensions: Span 25 in (GBU-31), 19.6 in (GBU-32), 14 in (GBU-38); length (with JDAM and warhead) approx 12 ft (GBU-31), 10 ft (GBU-32), 7.8 ft (GBU-38). Performance: Range up to 15 miles, CEP with GPS 16.4 ft, CEP with INS only 98 ft.

A 2000 lb class MK 84 bomb with a Paveway I or Paveway II guidance kit (CCG + airfoil group) is designated as GBU-10/B. Known designations of GBU-10/B Paveway I variants include:
