SDB Increment II
Abstract
GBU-53/B Small Diameter Bomb Increment II (SDB II) StormBreaker is a joint interest United States Air Force (USAF) and Department of Navy (DoN) Acquisition Category (ACAT) IC program, with the USAF as the lead service. SDB II addresses the following warfighter requirements: attack moving and stationary targets; adverse weather operations; multiple ordnance carriage; precision munitions capability; reduced munitions footprint; increased weapons effectiveness; minimized potential for collateral damage; reduced susceptibility of munitions to countermeasures; and provides a network-enabled weapon capability via Link-16 and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) weapon data link. SDB II is a key component of the Air Force Global Strike Task Force Concept of Operations (CONOPs). The threshold aircraft for the USAF is the F-15E, and the threshold aircraft for the DoN are the F-35B and F-35C. Objective aircraft include the F-22, F-16, F-35A, B-2, A-10, MQ-9, B-1, B-52, AC-130 and the F/A-18E/F. SDB II is compatible with the Bomb Rack Unit-61 (BRU-61) miniature munitions carriage, Type II carriage systems, the Container Numerical Unit-660/E (CNU-660/E) carriage system, the Common Munitions Built In Test (BIT)/Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE), and the Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS). SDB II will develop and field a single weapon storage container (USAF) and a dual weapon storage container (DoN). SDB II completed a competitive Risk Reduction in October 2009 and entered Milestone B Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) in August 2010. A Fixed Price Incentive Firm EMD contract with five options for annual Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) lots (FY15-FY19) was awarded in August 2010. SDB II received Milestone C approval to enter LRIP in June 2015 and completed an Acquisition Program Baseline update. Contract options for LRIP Lots 1-5 have been exercised. Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) started June 2018 and completed December 2019. SDB II was fielded for the F-15E in September 2020. Initial Operational Capability (IOC) for the DoN's F-35B and F-35C is scheduled for FY 2023 and is based on the F-35 B/C hardware and software modification schedule. DoN's first production lot (Lot 4/FY19) supports F/A-18E/F IOC. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. In FY20 $0.017M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY21 $0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full rate production.
