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 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)
