Small Diameter Bomb (SDB)

Abstract

Small Diameter Bomb Increment II (SDB II) is a joint program, with the Air Force (AF) as the lead service, which provides the warfighter a capability to attack mobile targets in all weather from Stand-Off range. SDB II addresses the following warfighter requirements: attack mobile targets, adverse weather operations, multiple kills per pass, multiple ordnance carriage, 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 provides a net-centric operations capability. The threshold aircraft for the AF is the F-15E and the threshold aircrafts for the Department of Navy are the F-35B and F-35C. SDB II will be compatible with the BRU-61/A miniature munitions carriage. As a result of the Joint Srike Fighter program's restructure, SDB II's required funding for FY10 was reduced from it's enacted level. The following reprogrammings, FY10-10PA for Training and Recruiting and FY10-12 PA for Counter IED, realigned approximately $27M from the SDB FY10 program. These reprogrammings were approved by all four (4) committees and have been implemented. The FY11 and FY12 request support the rephased SDB program.

Change Summary Explanation
Technical: Schedule: As a result in the delay of the approved Acquisition Strategy the following milestones have changed: Milestone (MS) B from 2Q FY10 to 4Q FY10, Critical Design Review from 3Q FY10 to 4Q FY10, Engineering Manufacturing Development (EMD) Downselect from 2Q FY10 to 4Q FY10 and EMD from 2Q FY10 to 4Q FY10, MS C from 1Q FY13 to 4Q FY13. Due to delay of F-35 program, SDB II Navy Developmental Testing (DT) program had been moved to the right from FY14 to FY15; Navy Operational Testing (OT) from FY16 to FY17. As a result of the delay in F-35 DT and OT, DoN procurement has been moved from Lot 3/Low Rate Initial Production III to Lot 4/LRIP IV. Respective deliveries will now be FY17 to support the DoN Initial Operating Capability slip from FY16 to FY18.
