DST | The Joint Direct Attack Munition - Extended Range (JDAM-ER) | Andrew Snowden

The Joint Direct Attack Munition - Extended Range (JDAM-ER) is a significant success story for DST.
Andrew Snowden explains the role DST is playing in developing the JDAM-ER which is about to enter service with the RAAF.

JDAM-ER is brilliant! The only cooler J DAM is a serving Danish Air Force General.

[@matthewmarston5149]

General it's a very important thing I've done with Jdam in cars, put guidance, the sensors to the road will be able to use this guidance for all weather conditions, support for the CIB to speed down the roads on or off

72.5 kilometers away wow

This, of course, is an excellent capability. This is still a passive gliding weapon, however. Is there any possibility that GLSDB could be leveraged with the ER kit, or does it subsume those enhancements? Or in another way can the booster be adapted to the air dropped JDAM family? It seems the future now is all about range. But if we're going to end up multiplying use of these by a thousand, we've got to divide the price by a thousand. That's the one thing most of the Russian stuff has purported to be. Cheap. And am I wrong to be interested in how m1 tanks released by Biden are getting blowed up, and how much is that like how other folks' tanks got blowed up? And what we are learning and how we are adapting? I hope there'll be a mk 4 or 5 or 6 Abrams that has final form against the current drone mine arty rocket PGM threats. And in addition to the millions per year or millions per month of vanilla 155 mm shells, we need to be making lots of shell bodies for cluster munitions, cofram is the Way, if we can keep the price down.

Obviously you know zero about Australia’s responsibilities under international conventions to which we are a party. “The Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) is an international treaty that prohibits all use, transfer, production, and stockpiling of cluster munitions, a type of explosive weapon which scatters submunitions ("bomblets") over an area.”

[@teeanahera8949]

Oh and think about your spelling: *blown up

[@nichevo1]

​@@teeanahera8949idiomatic. "That blowed up real good." But you are a foreigner, so I understand.

[@nichevo1]

​@@teeanahera8949stupid virtue signaling convention. Like many of them. The US is not a party.

[@subtle0savage]

@@teeanahera8949 Don't prattle on about subjects you're clearly ignorant of. Did Australia sign the 2008 Wellington Convention? Yes. Does it have to adhere to it? No. Has it lobbied for exceptional status to participate in the use of cluster munitions? Yes. Are there legal ways around the Wellington Convention which Australia could easily adopt? Yes. To wit, you twit, the law forgives/ignores the following: A munition containing 9 or less submunitions which individually weigh more than 4kg. Sub-munitions which can detect/engage specific targets. Sub-munitions must have a self-destruct feature. And if the sub-munitions weigh more than 20kg? You're good, go ahead and use as many of those as you can cram in to your munition. As for Australia, it made a successful appeal to use all cluster munitions the U.S. uses after signing the 2008 convention for the purposes of legally protecting Australian service-folks who might use such weapons either with the U.S. or with 'other non-signatory nations'. It's the use-them-whenever-you-want loophole.

yes but its for low level penetration bomb.

Русские будут удалены из Украины независимо от того, что думают по этому поводу русские.

[@kellymoses8566]

Вау, этот комментарий не очень хорошо сохранился. В настоящее время Россия убивает многие сотни гражданских лиц в Украине, пытаясь украсть их землю. Хорошо, что российские военные - это мусор и очень плохо справляются со своими обязанностями.
