Description
The GBU-54 LJDAM was developed adding a laser seeker to the 500-lb GBU-38 JDAM GPS-guided bomb. It allows to engage both stationary and moving targets on the ground with reduced collateral damage thanks to the combination of the 500-lb Mk-82 warhead and the precision strike capability delivered by its dual mode guidance system. The USAF and USN have ordered the GBU-54 guided weapon as part of their efforts during the global war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan. In July 2008, Germany became its first international customer for the GBU-54.
