Product Name: Small Diameter Bomb (SDB)

Product Description

The small diameter bomb (SDB) system is a low-cost, precision-strike weapon system that can be mounted with internal or external carriages on fighters, bombers, and unmanned combat air vehicles.

Components and Capabilities

The SDB system comprises the following components: the weapon itself, a four-weapon BRU-61/A carriage, a differential GPS accuracy-support infrastructure, a mission-planning system, and a logistics-support system.

  • Weapon
    • GBU-39/B: multipurpose, insensitive, penetrating, blast-fragmentation warhead for stationary targets; equipped with deployable wings for extended standoff range
      • Dimensions: (L x W): 70.8" x 7.5" (1.8 m x 19 cm)
      • Weight: 285 pounds (130 kg)
      • Warhead penetration: 3 feet of steel reinforced concrete
      • Fuse: electronic safe and fire (ESAF) cockpit selectable functions, including air burst and delayed options
      • Standoff maximum range: more than 60 nautical miles
    • BRU-61/A "smart" pneumatic carriage
      • Payload capacity: four weapons
      • Weight: 320 pounds (145 kg) empty, 1,460 pounds (664 kg) loaded
      • Dimensions (L x W x H): 143" x 16" x 16" (3.6 m x 40.6 cm x 40.6 cm)
      • Fits nearly all delivery platforms, including internal/external carriages in the F/A-22, F-35, J-UCAS, and bombers
    • Guidance
      • Near-precision inertial navigation system/global positioning system (INS/GPS)
      • Anti-jam GPS and selective-ability anti-spoofing module (SAASM)

Advantages

The SDB system offers the following advantages over systems that have a single 1,000-pound or 2,000-pound weapon:

  • Increases the number of targets per sortie (four weapons)
  • Reduces collateral damage as a result of accuracy and small weapon size
  • Improves pilot safety with its extended standoff range
