I know that JDAM is the “new kid on the block” and promises greater effectiveness in many scenarios than laser-guided bombs, but aren’t there some situations where Paveway would be preferred to JDAM? One that comes to mind is where visual confirmation is required, or an attack on a moving target. I know JDAM can be dropped through cloud cover, smoke, etc.. and would be preferred over a laser guided munition in such a case.
