The Air Force awarded Boeing a $75 million production contract to begin supplying long-range JDAMs as the service seeks to expand its arsenal and extend the range of its key munitions.
The BSU-111 Payload Delivery Unit creates a new JDAM variant, the GBU-75 JDAM-LR, with a stand-off range of more than 300 nautical miles for a 500-pound payload, Boeing said in a release.
That’s a significant increase from the standard GBU-38 JDAM, at 15 nm, and the extended-range JDAM-ER, at 45 nm.
