I was under the impression that JDAMS were just dumb bombs that were dropped above their target (more vertical than horizontal from target) with some ability to adjust their fall to stay on a target.
Glide bombs seem like cheaper versions of the Cruise Missile idea, no? (Explosive payload delivered at lower altitude and high rate of speed from a platform that is farther away on the horizontal than the vertical axis from a target.)
I’m no ordinance nerd so feel free to correct me.
