Boeing to build Laser JDAM for Navy

摘要

Smart munitions experts at the Boeing Co. Defense, Space & Security segment in St. Louis are continuing efforts to supply the U.S. Navy with laser-guided Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) to satisfy the Navy's need for a direct-attack moving target capability weapon. Boeing won an $8 million contract from Naval Air Systems Command at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, Md., to supply 700 low-rate initial production LASER JDAMs as direct attack moving target capability weapons, as well as first-article testing.
