The jointly manned JDAM Squadron is also working with the Department of the Navy to add a laser seeker to the weapon. BAE Systems uses a mid-body guidance approach that employs its Distributed Aperture Semi-Active Laser Seeker (DASALS(TM)), also used on the Army's Precision Guided Mortar Munitions Program. BAE Systems' environmental tests verified that locating the weapon's Distributed Aperture Semi-Active Laser Seeker (DASALS(TM)) within the rocket's mid-body -- with wings and optics sealed within the guidance section -- protects the unit from sand, dust, vibration, ice, and other environmental hazards likely to be found in combat situations. |
