Description
Description — Small Diameter Bomb
GBU-39/B: Small Diameter Bomb Increment I (SDB I) is an Air Force ACAT II program providing increased kills per sortie on current and future aircraft platforms. SDB I addresses the following specific warfighter requirements: multiple kills per pass; multiple ordnance carriage (BRU-61); adverse weather; precision munitions capability; capability against fixed and stationary targets; reduced munitions footprint; increased weapons effectiveness; minimized potential for collateral damage; reduced susceptibility of munitions to countermeasures; and standoff or Close Air Support (CAS) operational capability. Threshold aircraft is the F-15E. Objective aircraft include: F-22A, F-16C/D Block 30/40/50, F-35A, B-1, A-10, B-52, B-21, MQ-9, and AC-130W/J. Integrated platforms include: F-15E, F-22A, AC-130W/J, F-16C/D Block 30/40/50, and F-35A. SDB I completed IOT&E in Jun 2006 and commenced Full Rate Production (FRP) in Dec 2006. GBU-39A/B: Small Diameter Bomb I Focused Lethality Munition (FLM) is a low collateral damage variant of SDB I. FLM has a carbon fiber warhead case which disintegrates upon fill detonation, minimizing fragmentation effects to personnel and property. GBU-39B/B: Laser SDB is a laser variant of the baseline SDB I. Laser SDB is a 250-pound class, air-launched weapon with deployable wings to achieve standoff range, has a laser seeker to self-target and a GPS-only mode, and has a Height-Of-Burst (HOB) fuze to provide selectable weapons effects. BRU-61: The BRU is a four-place weapon carriage system used on aircraft for releasing GBU-39 weapons. It features a pneumatic ejector system and communicates with the aircraft and attached weapons through MIL-STD-1760 and JMMI interfaces, respectively. The two variants, BRU-61/A and BRU-61B/A, differ in their power supply and voltage handling. BRU-61/A uses 115 VAC aircraft power and converts it to 28 VDC for weapons. BRU-61B/A accepts either 115 VAC or 270 VDC aircraft power, converting it to either 28 or 32 VDC for weapons. SDB I weapons and weapon containers are procured together as a system. Individual containers can be procured separately as requirements dictate. SDB I procurement supports current combat operations and replenishment of SDB I weapons and its variants used in these operations. It leverages common component development, in collaboration with other weapon systems, to reduce redundant costs between systems with similar subsystems requirements. Invests in analytical, information management, data management, digital environments, networks, facilities, and security infrastructure upgrades directly supporting development and sustainment of this program's capabilities, while leveraging DoD and DAF enterprise IT solutions. For example, the integration of a qualified Strategic Anti-Jam Beam-forming Receiver (SABR-Y) and M-Code capable GPS receivers. Funding may also be used to resolve performance deficiencies identified in the system. Funding may be used to address Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) issues. This will be accomplished through studies, bridge buys, life of type buys, supplier/parts replacement, and qualification (including flight/ground test activities) to preserve future production capabilities and capacities. GBU-53/B: Small Diameter Bomb Increment II (SDB II) quantities and obligation authority were included in SDB000 for FY2018 and earlier. Reference BP20 SDB002 for SDB II FY19 and out. Procurements for the execution year may vary due to changes in inventory objectives. Combatant commanders' requirements for Operational Plans influence these objectives, which are updated throughout the year. Funding for this exhibit is contained in PE 0207330F. Funding was contained in PE 0207327F for FY22 and prior.
Justification
Justification — Small Diameter Bomb
FY 2026 funds procure SDB Increment I weapons/BRU-61, Operational Flight Program updates and test, obsolescence contracts, integration efforts to support Block 21 OFP, Block 24 OFP, SABR-Y, and SMC-2, PSC Contractor Services: Engineering, Professional, and Administrative Support Services (EPASS) contract support, and PSC Other Government Costs: travel, Government Purchase Card (GPC), and other operational costs. Procurement quantities will be combined with expected FMS buys to meet minimum order quantity requirement. Procurement quantities can change based on negotiated options/pricing bands and available funding, in accordance with Title 10, U.S Code Section 2308 BUY-TO-BUDGET ACQUISITION. This program leverages Digital acquisition tenets of open, agile, and digital. Invests in analytical, information management, data management, digital environments, networks, facilities, and security infrastructure upgrades directly supporting development and sustainment of this program's capabilities, while leveraging DoD and DAF enterprise IT solutions. Funds may be used to address production Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS)/Material Shortages/Obsolescence issues through studies, bridge buys, life of type buys, supplier/parts replacement, to include electronic components used commercially and in short supply, and qualification activities to preserve future production capabilities and capacities. These funds may also procure inventoried items which may not be procured on an annual basis and could be required on an emerging basis. Variations to cover critical shortfalls to inventory objectives as well as actual and planned expenditures will be addressed during execution year.
