JDAM: The World's First GPS-Guided Bomb

Mike sits down with Steve “Wingie” Wingfield to discuss the JDAM—the world’s first operational GPS-aided bomb. Wingie played a big role in the Air Force, doing weapons flight testing and requirements writing, then went on to have another career at Boeing working on Joint Direct Attack Munition and other weapons. He’s one of the few people who got to see the entire story arc, from the pain points in Desert Storm that started the whole thing, to other evolutions like Laser JDAM and extended range JDAM, and how those programs came to be. If you want a rare inside look at how one of the most successful acquisition programs in the past 30 years happened, this episode is for you.
