Small Diameter Bomb (SDB)

Abstract

Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) Increment II is an ACAT ID program providing the warfighter a capability to attack mobile targets in all weather from Stand-Off. The Air Force is the executive service. SDB Increment II addresses the following warfighter requirements: attack mobile targets; multiple kills per pass; multiple ordnance carriage; all weather operations; near-precision munitions capability; capability against fixed targets; reduced munitions footprint; increased weapons effectiveness; minimized potential for collateral damage; reduced susceptibility of munitions to countermeasures; and a migration path to net centric ops capability. Threshold aircraft is the F-15E for the Air Force and F-35 B and F-35 C for the Navy. Objective aircraft include the F/A-22, B-1, B-2, F-117, F-16, B-52, Predator B, and F/A-18 E/F . SDB II must be operable on the Miniature Munitions Smart Rack BRU-61/A . This rack is currently in production in the USAF, but has never been qualified to DoN environments, nor flown internally in any variant of F-35. Efforts include a Dual Power modification, ensuring adequate power supplied to BRU-61 to meet the SDBII operating environment. SDB Increment II will continue incremental development to pursue network CENTRIC interoperability. SDB increment II is a key component of the Air Force's Global Strike Task Force CONOP. Navy funding will provide for risk reduction activities, participation in common efforts, F-35B and F-35C integration efforts, to include Operational Flight Plan (OFP) development, and development and evaluation of Navy-unique and interoperability requirements, to include BRU-61/A efforts. Navy SDB II Initial Operating Capability is scheduled for FY 2016 on JSF Short Take-Off Vertical Landing (STOVL) F-35B and Navy Variant (F-35C) aircraft. Additionally, FY 2009 and prior year Navy funding is provided to conduct weapons data link message development and testing through Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD) efforts to achieve risk reduction efforts and weapons interoperability. The Joint Surface Warfare (JSuW) is one current JCTD being conducted to analyze weapons data link message development.

Change Summary Explanation
Technical: Ship Suitability is more accurately defined as the BRU-61/A efforts. Included in those are the Dual Power and SDB II Qualification efforts. Schedule: As a result in the delay of the approved Acquisition Strategy the following milestones have changed : Milestone B from 1Q FY10 to 2Q FY10, Critical Design Review (CDR) from 1Q FY10 to 3Q FY10, EMD Downselect from 1Q FY10 to 2Q FY10 and Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) from 1Q FY10 to 2Q FY10. Additionally, System Development and Demonstration changed terminology to EMD per new DoDI 5000.02 instruction. FY11 from previous President's Budget is shown as zero because no FY11-15 data was presented in President's Budget 2010.
