OVERVIEW PROGRAM BACKGROUND OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS PROGRAM SCHEDULE

Program Background MMC Mission Need Statement, ACAT Level II, Oct 97 Increase kills per sortie Increase aircraft loadout Accommodate current and future aircraft Kill fixed, relocatable and mobiles targets Milestone 0 decision Feb 98 Perform concept and trade studies Evaluate both weapons and carriage systems HQ ACC, AAC, and AFRL performed Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) 1998-2000 22 approaches evaluated Government and Industry proposed methods

Program Background (con’t) Air Force Research Lab Munitions Directorate (Eglin AFB FL) demonstrated technologies 1990-2000 Four Concept Study Contracts awarded 1999 ($250K each) Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon Conducted trade studies, defined concepts Four contracts modified 2000 (adding $1.3M each) Develop and tested seeker and ATR algorithms Characterized seeker/ATR in operational environment Continue algorithm development

REQUIREMENTS

Miniaturized Munitions Concept SDB Program Covers Phase I and Phase II MMC Umbrella Future Phase I Wide Area Search Autonomous Attack Miniature Munition (WASAAMM) SDB Fixed 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

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

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

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-10 F-15E F-16 F-22 F-117 JSF B-1 B-2 B-52 UCAV Stations 4 3 2 2 2 2 24 16 12 TBD Threshold* 16 12 8 8 8 8 96 64 48 TBD Objective 48 36 24 12 24 24 288 192 144 TBD *Threshold: 4 SDB weapons per 1760 interface

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
