Raytheon's APG-79 AESA Radar for the F/A-18 Super Hornet Sets a New Standard as it Delivers Multiple JDAMs Simultaneously on Target
Raytheon's APG-79 has successfully delivered multiple JDAMs using real-time targeting coordinates derived from a high resolution SAR image during recent testing at the U.S. Navy's China Lake facility.

The JDAM test also employed the ATFLIR system to provide imagery of the targeting area. ATFLIR recorded the impact of the weapons against two diverse targets, confirming simultaneous weapon delivery while providing post-impact bomb damage information.
