Phase II
Let’s start by talking about where SDB fits in to the big picture.
Miniturized Munitions Capability is a term we will use to define overarching requirements.
Under the MMC umbrella, we have a Phase I requirement for a Small Diameter Bomb capable against fixed targets and a common carriage system which will evolve into a phase 2 weapon capable against mobile targets.
There is a future requirement that is TBD for a wide area search and standoff weapon that could be a totally separate weapon system although the idea is to use the common carriage system.
This acquisition strategy only addresses Phase 1 and 2.
SDB Mobile
Common
Carriage System
SDB Program Covers Phase I and Phase II

8. Requirements Schedule #1 Priority: field systems soonest
Cost #2: Affordability, obtain price commitments
Performance #3
Phase I: GPS/INS-like accuracy (fixed/stationary)
Phase II: Seeker/ATR-like accuracy (mobile/relocatable)
2 KPPs:
Loadout
4 weapons per 1760 aircraft station is threshold
Interoperability
Common carriage system & interface across aircraft
Compatible with C4ISR infrastructure

9. Requirements (con’t) Evolutionary approach to fielding systems
Phase I: Effective in GPS Jammed Environment
Phase II: Target Recognition for Autonomous Engagement in Limited Search Area
ORD Will Remain DRAFT until Milestone B decision
KPPs are only non-tradables
CAIV : performance trades between MS A and MS B
HQ ACC finalize performance “thresholds” after seeing cost & schedule impacts to program

10. Requirements (con’t) Aircraft Integration Threshold Aircraft:
Phase I: F-15E
Phase II: F-15E, F-16C/D and B-1B
Objective Aircraft:
Phase I: A-10, F-16, F-117, F-22, JSF, B-1, B-52, B-2, UCAV
Phase II: A-10, F-117, F-22, JSF, B-52, B-2, UCAV
Aircraft Loadouts
A F-15E F-16 F-22 F JSF B-1 B-2 B-52 UCAV
Stations TBD
Threshold* TBD
Objective TBD
*Threshold: 4 SDB weapons per 1760 interface

11. Carriage System Requirements
Commonality across all threshold and objective aircraft
Standard test equipment, training, containers, loading procedures, etc.
Compatibility with B-2 Smart BRA
MIL-STD-1760 interface
Minimize aircraft OFP impact, single update
Must support individual weapon targeting, fuze programming, weapon release initialization, weapon status reporting and weapon software reprogramming
Individual and ripple release against one or more targets
No single use devices for weapon ejection system
