Boeing Company is the current JDAM contractor, and has sole responsibility for design and warranty of the JDAM weapon system. Boeing is not required to furnish a technical data package to the Systems Program Office, and therefore a data package is not available to furnish to anyone to allow them to accomplish the JDAM integration on JSF. The scope of this effort shall include procurement of separation and enhanced guidance test vehicles along with technical support from Boeing for the actual conduct of the test.
