Another SAR aided
guidance system developed by Boeing for the US Navy, uses target
cueing based on Synthetic Aperture Radar/Ground Moving Target
Indication (SAR/GMTI) imaging, which automatically extracts
information for JDAM targeting. The
information received from the airborne surveillance sensor, to
continuously track mobile targets and send targeting cues via
data-link, in real-time, to JDAM weapons after release, on their
way to the target. The accuracy of such system is expected to be
up to 1 meter CEP, considerably improved over standard
GPS targeting.
