The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a guidance tail kit that converts existing unguided free-fall bombs into accurate, all-weather guided bombs. The JDAM kit consists of a new tail section containing an inertial navigational system and a global positioning system (GPS) guidance control unit. JDAM can be launched from approximately 15 miles from the target and each is independently targeted. JDAM was jointly developed by the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy, is built by Boeing, and can be fitted to the standard Mk.80 series of free-fall bombs. Each kit costs around $18,000.

The US Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps originally planned to acquire a total of over 87,000 JDAM kits from Boeing, with total program cost of over $2 billion USD. The US military has been so enthusiastic about the weapon that their total buy may reach about 250,000, and there has been talk of eliminating unguided bombs entirely from the inventory. JDAM has also been sold to foreign customers, with Israel and Italy placing the first export orders.

JDAM variants used by F-16's.

GBU-31: Two versions are available: the GBU-31(V)1/B is based on the 2085 lb Mk.84 warhead, and the GBU-31(V)3/B is based on the 2162 lb BLU-109 forged steel penetrator warhead.

GBU-38: JDAM kit with a Mk.82/BLU-111/B. 558 lb.
