adverse weather ``smart'' munitions. The JDAM weapon can be delivered 
from modest standoff ranges at high or low altitudes against a variety 
of land and surface targets during the day or night. The JDAM is 
capable of receiving target coordinates via preplanned mission data 
from the delivery aircraft, by onboard aircraft sensors (i.e., FLIR, 
Radar, etc.) during captive carry, or from a third-party source via 
manual or automated aircrew cockpit entry.

multi-delay, multi-arm, and proximity sensor compatible with general 
purpose blast, frag, and hardened-target penetrator weapons. The JPF 
settings are cockpit selectable in flight when used with numerous 
precision-guided weapons.
    22. The Common Munitions Built-In-Test/Reprogramming Equipment 
(CMBRE) is support equipment used to interface with weapon systems to 
initiate and report BIT results and to upload and download flight 
software. CMBRE supports multiple munitions platforms with a range of 
applications that perform preflight checks, periodic maintenance 
checks, loading of Operational Flight Program (OFP) data, loading of 
munitions mission planning data, loading of Global Positioning System 
(GPS) cryptographic keys, and declassification of munitions memory.
    23. The Electronic Warfare Integrated Reprogramming Database 
(EWIRDB) is used by U.S. Government engineers in the reprogramming and 
creation of shareable Mission Data Files for the AN/ALQ-131 electronic 
countermeasures pod on the F-16 aircraft. The source product is not 
releasable to the customer.
