I wonder how long it took to type in the 80 Lat/Lon's (1600 characters?), and the 80 elevations?

Heh... Scrib, what makes you think they had to manually input the targets? No... I'm not going to explain on the open net.

Actually I said that the USAF didn't need any more B2's.[ ] I mean if you can drop 80 JDAM's from one plane then you don't need more than 15 planes right?[][ ]LOL

If you think that is impressive, just wait till SDB (Small diameter bomb) "hits"...GP like JDAM, but w/ more than double the loadout...

I love to read articles like this. JDAM is one of the programs that Boeing lays claim to because they are the prime and the assembler of the system. The guidance package is built and assembled by Lockheed. It's one of the programs that keeps me employed. As since the last little conflict the orders just keep rolling in.
That was 80 500 pounders. However, they also do 40 1000 pounders and something like 25 2000 pounders in one load.
