Boeing receives the first production contract for a jet-powered version of the JDAM guided bomb, according to multiple defense outlets. The jet-powered weapon is designed to provide a longer standoff range than conventional JDAM configurations, with sources stating it can fly more than 300 nautical miles. The contract is characterized as the first step into production, following earlier development and testing activities associated with the jet-powered capability. While the reports focus on the award itself and the weapon’s stated range, they do not provide additional program details such as contract value, production quantities, or delivery timelines in the information provided here. Across the outlets, the central points remain consistent: Boeing is selected to begin production for a jet-powered JDAM and the system’s extended flight capability—over 300 nautical miles—is highlighted as a key attribute of the weapon. The reporting indicates the award is a milestone toward fielding the jet-powered JDAM in operational use.
