Original Note:
A JDAM requires an LJDAM (a JDAM with the addition of a Precision Laser Guidance Set) for airbursts: https://www.navy.mil/Resources/Fact-Files/Display-FactFiles/Article/2166820/joint-direct-attack-munition-jdam/ A laser-guided weapon requires the launching aircraft or a separate platform to lase the target, and be relatively close to the target throughout the course of the strike. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/42234/the-air-force-is-developing-smart-bombs-with-torpedo-like-ship-killing-capability
