I had an idea about those JDAMs. What if we put encoded homing beacons on some of the JDAMS, activated when dropped, then simple seeker heads on the rest of the load of weapons, comprised of dumb bombs, and then sent in B52s with say, 25% of there bomb loads comprised of JDAMS, the rest seeker bombs, could be a cheap way to accurately obliterate targets from very high altitude?

If a particular JDAM with a homing beacon goes off target you can end up with a very expensive crater next to an unscathed target....
