US: Boeing wins big contract to turn ‘dumb bombs’ into smart weapons https://interestingengineering.com/military/us-air-force-boeing-contract-jdam Posted by kex06
plomo323 on June 1, 2024 4:13 pm Do they upgrade their 737max passenger Jets with some explosives and a target aim?
goodbyclunky on June 1, 2024 4:20 pm Since they already have dumb planes there are a lot of synergies
Iamsoveryspecial on June 1, 2024 4:22 pm This makes sense, as Boeing is very good at making things that fall out of the sky.
occasionalgambler on June 1, 2024 4:43 pm I mean they can’t even launch an expendable rocket in 2024…
Accomplished-Try8044 on June 1, 2024 4:44 pm It is much more likely they turn dumb into regarded than smart
SlickRick941 on June 1, 2024 4:44 pm Technically the US has done this for decades. Jdams and gbus use guidance systems on mk82,83, and 84 bomb bodies. Not exactly a new concept

iPokeMango on June 1, 2024 5:20 pm If they had smart technology, they’d have installed it in their management team long ago.
MadMax_08 on June 1, 2024 5:24 pm So they’re gonna put AI into their planes? Then they’ll smart bombs instead of dumb??
anal_sanders on June 1, 2024 5:49 pm Everyone in this thread thinks they’re the funniest person they know.
amoral_ponder on June 1, 2024 6:26 pm Does that mean they will automatically target Boeing whistle blowers?
UnAmusedBag on June 1, 2024 6:39 pm They can now bomb the Whistle Blowers with 100% accuracy from the skys

Well, they do know how to kill people.
Do they upgrade their 737max passenger Jets with some explosives and a target aim?
That Boeing?
They make the doors fall off the bombs mid-flight?
Are they just replacing the “dumb bombs” with Boeing planes?
Since they already have dumb planes there are a lot of synergies
This makes sense, as Boeing is very good at making things that fall out of the sky.
Pamp it
The Boeing panels will now be equipped with warheads.
Good? Because they can’t get a rocket off the fucking ground.
I mean they can’t even launch an expendable rocket in 2024…

Gonna turn dumb bombs into regarded bombs
*Boeing whistle-blower found dead after apparent suicide by smart bomb.*
So, they did learn something from crashing planes
Do they have remotely operated Boeing bolts?
If they had smart technology, they’d have installed it in their management team long ago.
Will they be smart enough to perform their own quality checks?
So they’re gonna put AI into their planes? Then they’ll smart bombs instead of dumb??
Is this what they’re calling emergency landings now?
So they’re donating their planes?

Article gets clicks by turning JDAM into a dumb title
They are called 737 Max’s
This is very old news. JDAMs have existed for decades.
Does that mean they will automatically target Boeing whistle blowers?
What if Boeing was behind 9/11 all along
They can now bomb the Whistle Blowers with 100% accuracy from the skys
Step 1, get bad guys on a 737
