TDI, a subsidiary of Kratos, will see its TDI-J85 turbine engine powering Boeing’s Powered Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), a strategic integration enhancing both range and affordability.

The TDI-J85’s shaft-integral permanent magnet generator will produce up to 1.5 kW of AC power, from idle through maximum engine speeds, for P-JDAM’s onboard power requirements.

The TDI-J85 engine, and related low-cost cruise missile, were designed and built in partnership with Northrop Grumman and Technical Directions, says AFRL.

Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. KTOS recently announced that its unit, Technical Directions, Inc. (“TDI”), now offers four classes of its low-cost, high-performance turbojet engines ...
