Boeing contract for JDAM kits
The Boeing Company has announced that it has received contracts totaling $100 million for two types of Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) kits. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) awarded the company an $8 million contract that represents the first major production order for Laser JDAM kits. The contract is for low-rate initial production of 700 laser sensor kits for the Navy’s direct-attack moving target capability weapons requirement.
The US Air Force announced a $92 million contract for more than 4,000 Lot 15 JDAM kits on March 14. This follows an $88 million contract awarded January 14 for the first 3,500 tail kits in the same lot.
JDAM is a low-cost guidance kit that converts existing unguided freefall bombs into near precision-guided weapons. In addition to conventional JDAM and Laser JDAM applications, the JDAM extended range configuration – currently in demonstration with an international customer – is designed to increase the stand-off range to approximately 65 kilometres.
