The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a guidance kit that converts unguided bombs, or "dumb bombs" into all-weather "smart" munitions. JDAM-equipped bombs are guided by an integrated inertial guidance system coupled to a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, giving them a published range of up to 15 nautical miles (28 km).
Integration (JDAM)
Planned-Follow-on integration efforts are currently underway or planned to evaluate compatibility with:
* JF-17 Thunder
GBU-31: Mk84 bomb fitted with JDAM
Paveway IV is a new-generation dual mode GPS/INS and laser guided bomb for use by military aircraft.
The weapon is a guidance kit based on the existing Enhanced Paveway II Enhanced Computer Control Group (ECCG) added to a modified Mk 82 general-purpose bomb with increased penetration performance
Mk 82
GBU-10 Paveway II
American Paveway-series laser-guided bomb, based on the Mk 84 general-purpose bomb, but with laser seeker and wings for guidance.
GBU-12 Paveway II
The GBU-12 PAVEWAY II laser-guided bomb is an American aerial bomb, based on the Mk 82 500-pound general-purpose bomb, but with the addition of a nose-mounted laser seeker and fins for guidance
H-2/4 Precision-guided glide bomb
lt-3
LT-2 -at the 7th Zhuhai Airshow held at in November, 2008, the developer of the LT series revealed that LT series precision guided bombs are actually based on the American Paveway design
LS-6 satellite-guided glide bombs
jf17 Precision guided munitions (PGM):
* GBU-10, GBU-12, LT-2 laser-guided bombs
* H-2, H-4 electro-optically guided,[8] LS-6 satellite-guided glide bombs[111]
* Satellite-guided bombs[8]

my bad didnt saw the post made by karthic
There is a story behind the first LGB dropped in combat. A bridge in North Vietnam was defying every effort to collapse it. Dozens of sorties were flown to drop dumb bombs on it, and a bridge is a very difficult target to hit. Most of the bombs missed, and those that hit, did not collapse the structure. Aircraft were shot down.
Then, they launched the laser sortie. A specific section of the bridge was lased, and there was a direct hit. A bridge that had survived weeks of bombardment was brought down in a moment.
The weakness of the LGB was demonstrated in Gulf War I, when the smoke and dust from the oil well fires hid the targets. Lasers require clear air. Even clouds below ruin the attack.
Thus, JDAM was born. But there is still a huge place for the LGB.
