DmitriKozlowsky Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 When again, are we due to receive GBU-38/31 capability? GBU-38 on A-10C is an excellent CAS weapon. -31 is a but too large. If 38 is a chisel, 31 is a mallot.
joey45 Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 Didn't know the Harrier could use the JDAMs. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Jetguy06 Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 The variant we have is, essentially, the pinnacle of the Harrier's capabilities. Even the +s with radar were reported by pilots to be less accurate with bombs than the NA. Our variant can use JDAMs, but RAZBAM is, as we speak, coding the INS, without which the JDAMs can't guide. I'm also waiting on the JDAMs. They would completely round out the Harrier's weapons capability and allow attacks on targets without having visual contact, such as through an overcast.

Because we have the ARBS.
Jetguy06 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Because we have the ARBS. Yep. That's why the NA is more accurate and the preferred platform for unguided bombing over the Plus. Our version of the NA does have the capability to carry JDAMs, though. They're just a little ways off while the INS code gets finished.
