Small Diameter Bomb (SDB)
Abstract
Small Diameter Bomb Increment II (SDB II) is an ACAT 1C joint Department of the Air Force (USAF) and Department of the Navy (DON) program, with the USAF as the lead service. The SDB II increases joint lethality in contested environments. The SDB can strike a diverse set of targets inside an adversary's air and missile defense networks to destroy mobile platforms through the weather. With increased loadout, range, and munitions effect the network enabled SDBII enhances close combat lethality in complex terrain and provides a net-centric operations capability. The BRU-61 is the Universal Armament Interface (UAI) pneumatic rack used to carry four SDB II's at one time. The threshold aircraft for the USAF is the F-15E and for the DON are the F-35B and F-35C. F/A-18 E/F is an objective platform for the DoN. The DON has adjusted the platform integration strategy through the inclusion of F/A-18 E/F using BRU-55 to deliver the capability to the warfighter aligned to adjusted F-35 program's schedule. BUDGET ACTIVITY JUSTIFICATION: 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.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Project 3072: FY 2023 funding request was reduced by $1.411 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Schedule: Project 1663: COVID travel and staffing restrictions impacted ability to support test prep and execution delaying test events and IOC. Delays are due to test asset availability and discoveries in software. Software fixes are in and now completing Crypto Mod compatibility before resuming test. Fielded capability will have full function of SDB II and will be Crypto Mod compliant. Schedule: Project 3072: Delays in F-35 testing and fielding are due to aging test aircraft and competing fleet priorities. The current F-35 test aircraft were down for maintenance longer than anticipated. Flight testing resumed in December and will continue to execute to meet the F-35B EOC. --- FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding.
