Boeing receives additional US Air Force JDAM contract

Issue No. 3 | February 01-15, 2012

Boeing received a $126 million contract from the US Air Force for approximately 5,000 joint direct attack munition (JDAM) tail kits. Deliveries will begin in June 2013 and continue through May 2014.

This is Boeing’s third major US Air Force contract within a year for conventional JDAM kits. Boeing received an $88 million contract for nearly 3,500 kits in January 2011 and a $92 million contract for an additional 4,000 kits in March.

JDAM is a low-cost guidance kit that converts existing unguided free-fall bombs into near precision-guided weapons. Boeing intentionally designed its JDAM kit to be modular, allowing for the product to mature with a variety of technological upgrades such as wing kits that triple its range, improved immunity to GPS jamming and an all-weather radar sensor.
