Boeing’s New Bomb Tech Extends Range | St. Louis News
Description
Boeing just landed a $75 million contract to build next-gen bomb delivery kits for the Air Force—think of it as a JDAM upgrade with serious range. The new JDAM LR extends a 500-pound bomb’s reach by over 300 nautical miles, letting pilots strike from safer distances. First flight tests were completed in April off California’s coast, and the Navy’s looking for affordable, long-range firepower without breaking the bank. No exact production numbers yet, but the goal is clear: give U.S. forces a cost-effective, tactical edge against threats anywhere on land or sea.
