Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) - EMD

Abstract

Small Diameter Bomb Increment II (SDB II) is a joint interest United States Air Force (USAF) and Department of Navy (DoN) ACAT ID program, with the Air Force (AF) as the lead service. SDB II provides the warfighter the capability to attack mobile targets from stand-off, through weather. SDB II addresses the following warfighter requirements: attack moving and stationary targets, adverse weather operations, multiple kills per pass, multiple ordnance carriage, precision munitions capability, reduced munitions footprint, increased weapons effectiveness, minimized potential for collateral damage, reduced susceptibility of munitions to countermeasures and provides a network enabled weapon capability via Link-16 and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Weapon Data Link. The threshold aircraft for the AF is the F-15E, and the threshold aircraft for the DoN are the F-35B and F-35C. Objective aircraft include the F-22, F-16, F-35A, B-2, A-10, MQ-9, B-1, B-52, and the F/A-18 E/F. The AC-130 is being considered as an additional objective platform. SDB II will be compatible with the BRU-61 miniature munitions carriage, the CNU-660/E carriage system, the Common Munitions Bit and Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE), and the Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS). The SDB II program will develop and field a single weapon storage container (USAF) and a dual weapon container (DoN). SDB II completed a 42-month competitive Risk Reduction phase in October 2009. Milestone B approval to enter the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase was received on 29 July 2010 and the subsequent Acquisition Program Baseline was signed on 08 October 2010. A Fixed Price Incentive Firm EMD contract was awarded on 09 August 2010. SDB II is a key component of the Air Force's Global Strike Task Force CONOPs and Global Precision Attack Core Function. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting Engineering and Manufacturing Development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
