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 aircraft for the Department of Navy are the F-35B and F-35C. SDB II will be compatible with the Joint Miniature Munitions Bomb Rack Unit (JMM BRU) (BRU-61A/A). This program is funded under SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION because it includes those projects that have passed Milestone B approval and are conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirement prior to full-rate production decision.
