All these weapons are operated by humans. Humans tend to be fallible. The munition involved in this loss was a J-DAM smart bomb. It is targeted using GPS technology. So even weahter conditions should not affect accuracy. BUT, the J-DAM is programmed by humans, using information developed by humans. On occasions, accidents will occur. Live fire exercises and actual war itself is obviously exceedingly and inherently dangerous.
