GLOBAL GPS-GUIDED GLIDE BOMB MARKET

INTRODUCTION

 JDAM-equipped bombs have a published range of up to 17 miles (28 kilometres) thanks to an integrated inertial guidance system attached to a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver.

Bombs with a JDAM range in weight from 230 to 910 kilograms (500 to 2,000 pounds). The Mark 80 or BLU (Bomb, Live Unit) nomenclature of the bomb to which it is attached is replaced by the GBU (Guided Bomb Unit) nomenclature when the JDAM kit is inserted.

GLOBAL GPS-GUIDED GLIDE BOMB MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

The Global GPS-guided glide bomb market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.

MARKET DYNAMICS

The UPAB-1500B is a Russian-made precision guided bomb that uses the GLONASS GPS channel to execute precise assaults.

The bomb, which can have a blast output of up to 1,500 kg of TNT, is made to demolish fortified targets like bunkers, command posts, and underground infrastructure.

The UPAB-1500B is a very powerful weapon that may seriously harm the military and infrastructure of an adversary. Instead of using a rocket or jet engine to travel towards their target, gliding bombs use their wings to do so.

 These bombs are often dropped from an aeroplane, and to increase their range and precision, they use aerodynamic lift.

This UPAB-1500 B bomb would only be used in the Chernihiv region, according to the Ukrainian defence website Defence Express.

However, that is not what the Russians assert, saying instead that a number of bombs were recently deployed to attack heavily fortified positions held by the Ukrainian armed forces in the Donbass region. 

At a height of roughly 45,000 feet and 40–50 km from the target, the UPAB-1500 B bomb is dropped by bomber aircraft such as a Su-34 Fullback or Su-24 Fencer.

Prior to reaching its destination, its trajectory might be changed. According to a number of Ukrainian media outlets, the Russian armed forces will have deployed their brand-new UPAB-1500B GPS-guided gliding bomb—which is intended to strike heavily fortified military targets—for the first time in Ukraine.
