I watched this documentary on smart bombs a few years ago while I was absolutely tripping balls stoned, It was the best documentary I ever watched 😂 I loved it
Wow 1944 the idea of using cameras inside the weapon was not only thought of, but built and completed into working order, plus the Nazis had weapons a pilot could fly it with a hand held remote control, absolutely amazing and awesome
So why is there not a bomb that floats slowly down and has multiple weapons that can be released individually or all at once and each individual weapon has its own personal target and after all weapons have been deployed from the floaty thing either the floaty thing becomes the final bomb, or just self distrucks
Originally, JDAM was a GPS/Inertial navigation-guided bomb. Later versions like the GBU-54 use a laser to assist with targeting, and newer versions of laser guided bombs use GPS/INS to assist their targeting. They all have their merits, the Laser-guided one is the most accurate, but is useless without clear skies. Optically guided bombs are flexible but useless at night, and GPS/INS is capable under any conditions but the least accurate of them all.
Because in 32:42, there's an Incident that the GPS JDAM has struck the Chinese Embassy, as if the JDAM has a Guidance Error compared to Laser-guided Bombs. Also, especially in 34:01, the worst Friendly Fire Incident. JDAMs with GPS Guidance has a drawbacks than Laser-guided Bombs right?
@@mystyle_jm8997 yeah Laser guided are most accurate. Those two situations were error on the human rather than the bomb tho. The embassy was faulty intelligence and the friendly fire was an overconfident bombardier.

If one could figure out a way to fly a weapon with equal accuracy but not using any satilight systems
Question, will JDAM Work without satellite or GPS and rely on Laser Guidance?
