One uses laser-guided bombs for improved accuracy. The USAF has embarked on an LJDAM program to combine the fair condition accuracy of laser with poor condition performance of IMU/GPS in to a single weapon system.
- Rod 18y agoThose laser-guided JDAMs require the target to be "illuminated" by laser until it is hit, right? If so, LJDAMs are not "fire & forget" kind of bombs, which is OK, since the IAF owns the sky over Gaza anyways. Since the IAF wants to minimize the collateral damage (at least that's what they say), then LJDAMs would indeed make sense. I stand corrected.
