Small Diameter Bomb (SDB)

Abstract

SDB II is an ACAT IC program providing the warfighter a capability to attack mobile targets in all weather from Stand-Off range. The Air Force is the lead service. Raytheon in Tucson, AZ is the prime contractor. SDB 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. This Project Unit includes all funding for DoN support on the DoN threshold platforms, F-35B and F-35C. The USMC requirement to field SDB II on F-35B is in F-35 Operational Flight Plan (OFP) Block 4.1. The F-35C is being conducted as part of Block 4.2. Commencing FY 2019, the F-35 integration will be using BRU-61 vice BRU-77 to carry the SDB II.
