A US DOD award on November 27, 2017 confirms that the Lebanese Air Force will be receiving an unspecified number of the Joint Programmable Fuze (JPF), FMU-152. The fuze is compatible with the MK-82/83/84 and BLU-109/113 warheads which can be used in conjunction with Paveway and JDAM kits.
This order comes soon after the Lebanese Air Force received its first two A29 Super Tucano, and must be directly related to its armaments.
"Kaman Precision Products, Orlando, Florida; Middletown, Connecticut, has been awarded a $85,169,000 firm-fixed-price, cost-plus-fixed fee contract for delivery of lot 13 of the joint programmable fuze, FMU-52 and corresponding production, test and engineering support. Work will be performed in Orlando, Florida; and Middletown, Connecticut, with an expected completion date of Feb. 28, 2019.
