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 2024 funding increased to cover increased integration costs due to the separation of F-35B and F-35C Developmental Test (DT) events. Synergies of combined F-35B and B-35C tests were reduced to meet the United States Marine Corps (USMC) acceleration of F-35B Operational Capability. Project 1663: FY 2024 funding decreased due to the completion of F/A-18 development efforts.
