The JDAM design will exceed all reliability, maintainability and support requirements. McDonnell Douglas has provided a 20-year warranty on JDAM at no charge to the customer. In addition, the design is guaranteed to be maintenance free for its 20-year life and implementation will require no new support equipment or skills. No military standards or specifications were applied to the JDAM program and, by incorporating the use of commercial practices and off-the-shelf components where practical, the team was able to significantly improve the systems affordability.
