Harris Corporation's Low-Cost Weapon Data Link Used In Successful JDAM Moving Target Demonstration
Harris Corporation has successfully tested a low-cost, UHF network-capable weapon data link for the JDAM on a F/A-18 Super Hornet to hit moving targets.

The Super Hornet was able update the JDAM with the position of the moving target using its onboard senors and trasmitting it to the bomb using the aircraft's existing communication system.

The JDAM was also able to transmit real-time weapon status back to the host F/A-18 for a two-way data link.
