http://defense-update.com/20130627_5-inch-guided-projectile-test-fired.html This is pretty accurate for a GPS round. BAE and Rayathon are competing for these contracts. Meanwhile Boeing is figuring out a way to put a rocket motor on its SDB http://www.spacewar.com/reports/Raytheon_Boeing_Team_Continues_to_Validate_JAGM_Single_Rocket_Motor_Solution_999.html .

The time is coming when anyone stupid enough to start a war with America and/or our allies will be facing initial attacks that consist entirely of precision munitions, other then small arms that is.

I wonder if they could make a less precise, but cheaper round for general use. Would be more economical.
