DESCRIPCIÓN DEL SISTEMA
Morocco equips its F-16 fleet with Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) kits converting unguided Mk 82 bombs into GPS/INS precision-guided munitions. The GBU-38 (250 lb Mk 82 + JDAM tail kit) provides accurate all-weather strike capability at relatively low cost. JDAM transforms dumb bombs into precision weapons capable of hitting within 5 metres circular error probable from standoff release altitudes. Morocco uses JDAM for ground attack, infrastructure targeting, and close air support missions.
