030321-N-4953E-024 The Mediterranean Sea (Mar. 21, 2003) -- Aviation Ordnancemen move 2,000-pound Joint Directional Attack Munitions (JDAMs) from the weapon's magazine to the hangar bay of USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). JDAMs are guidance kits that convert existing unguided bombs into precision-guided "smart" munitions. The tail section contains an inertial navigational system (INS) and a global positioning system (GPS). A JDAM improves the accuracy of unguided bombs in any weather condition. Truman is currently deployed and is conduciting missions in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
