Description

The JDAM ER program will extend the current range of JDAM bombs. The JDAM ER bomb will feature a range in excess of 35 miles through the addition of folding wings. In May 2011, the JDAM ER was in demonstration with an international customer with airframe modifications designed to increase the stand-off range to approximately 40 miles. The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) will receive the first production JDAM ER winged weapons in early 2015. Boeing delivered the 100,000th JDAM tail kit on December 2, 2004, to the US military since production started in 1998. Initial production was 900 tail kits per year, but as of December 2004 and following 9/11 terrorist attacks, tail kit production boosted and stands at 3,000 units per month. These tail kits provide precision strike capability to Mk 80 series bombs through GPS-aided navigation. To date, the US Air Force has received more than 50,000 JDAMs, the US Navy roughly 37,000 units, and the remaining tail kits (10,000?) were produced for international customers.
