Joint Direct Attack Munition are an all-weather smart munition meant to improve ground striking capabilities during bad weather conditions. (Smoke, dust, fog , clouds are causing difficulties for the LGB seekers to keep the laser lock)
JDAM are guided with a GPS-aided inertial navigation system and first seen combat during Operation Allied Force in 1999.
Those are the perfect weapons against static targets like bridges, factories or bunkers.
Learning objectives
- Know how to align JDAM and when they're fully aligned
- Set up the different settings in the SMS page : Arming Delay (AD) and Impact Azimuth (IMP AZ) (other settings are not implemented in game yet)
- Know the different modes of the JDAM (PRE - VIS)
- Know the flight envelope (offset of no more than 60° from the target bearing)
- Know the basic symbology of the HUD DLZ, LAR2 scale and the speed limitations (DLZ will be blanked when aircraft speeds are less than 0.5 Mach or greater than 1.5 Mach)
- Know how to drop JDAM on target steerpoint coordinates
- Know how to drop JDAM on a target designated with the TGP
- Know the differences between JDAM and LJDAM and their SMS settings (Laser receiver control)
- Be familiar with the 1.6 seconds pickle delay (Depress and hold until the FPM flashes > 1.6 seconds for single, or 3.2 seconds for ripple ! you must hold it until weapon release, otherwise you'll get a HUNG weapon)
