| N.Korea Developing Satellite-Guided Bomb | |
| 2014-09-24 | |
| North Korea is developing a new precision-guided bomb, similar to the U.S.' GPS-guided joint direct attack munitions or JDAMs, the military here believes. "We expect that the North will finish development of a new precision-guided bomb in the near future because we've detected signs that the North has been conducting tests for a few years now," a military source here said. Military authorities say they detected signs of a fighter jet dropping the new bomb over a testing ground in North Korea's Hwanghae Province this year. The JDAM is a GPS-guided bomb with a range of 28 km and alleged accuracy of about 13 m. The North's new bomb is believed to have a range of some 10 km.

| #1 No disrespect to the Democratic Peoples Republic, but this is high school science fair stuff. Which is kinda cool and a little scary. A microprocessor, a GPS board, servos to drive the bomb fins. And software. Software is the trick. But we can get you within 10 km... |
