Description
English: Arabian Gulf (Nov. 6, 2004) – The portside wing on an F/A-18 assigned to the “Blue Blasters” of Strike Fighter Squadron Three Four (VFA-34) is loaded with the Navy's latest Satellite Guided Bomb, the GBU-38, aboard the conventionally powered aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67). The GBU-38 is a 500-pound Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) that uses a standard Mk-82 bomb, and was developed for precision bombing in urban warfare. The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a guidance kit that converts existing unguided bombs into precision-guided "smart" munitions. The tail section contains an inertial navigational system (INS) and a global positioning system (GPS). JDAM improves the accuracy of unguided bombs in any weather condition. It can be launched from every fighter or fighter-attack aircraft in the Navy's inventory. Kennedy and embarked Carrier Air Wing Seventeen (CVW-17) are deployed to the 5th Fleet area of responsibility (AOR) in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).
