The USA to provide seekers for Ukraine’s JDAM-ER to defeat electronic warfare systems

The US Air Force has signed a contract with Scientific Applications and Research Associates for the acquisition of Home-on GPS seekers.

The JDAM-ER kits, which are mounted on bombs, will be equipped with these seekers.

Plans to provide Ukraine with JDAM-ERs with new seekers arose as Western precision bombs reportedly suffer from Russian GPS jamming systems.

The Home-on GPS seeker should enable Ukrainian JD?M-ERs to defeat GPS jammers.

Essentially, this will turn one of the weapons most affected by this counter into a weapon used to directly engage it.

This follows growing reports that Russian jamming is seriously reducing the effectiveness of GPS-guided munitions supplied by allies, including JDAM-ER.
