It is no secret that Russian electronic jamming is impacting the effectiveness of several Western-supplied GPS-guided munitions including JDAMs.
In response to this, the U.S. Air Force has taken a major step.
U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) has awarded a contract to Scientific Applications and Research Associates Inc. for the acquisition and integration of add-on seekers designed to enable JDAM-ER bombs to counter GPS jamming.
The addition of these seekers will also enable the JDAM -ER (extended Range) bombs to home-in on the GPS jammers.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes how JDAM-ER may soon be able to destroy Russian EW systems that are jamming it ?
