US Air Force Armed with Small Bomb II (SDB II) Bombs

Already next year, the US Air Force fighters will arm themselves with new winged mini-bombs. According to the scout.com portal, the US Air Force has completed the main phase of testing the Small Diameter Bomb II (SDB II) bombs.

Raytheon, the company that developed the new bombs, indicates that tests were conducted for compatibility with F-15 aircraft. The testing cycle showed full compliance with the stated requirements, and next year the US Air Force command plans to start using new ammunition. During the last test, the bomb hit a "moving at tactical speed" layout tank T-72.

The development of the Small Diameter Bomb II, also known as the GBU-53 / B, was launched in 2006. In 2015, the US Department of Defense ordered an experimental batch of ammunition (144 units), and in the near future their mass production will start. The US Air Force also plans to arm F-35A aircraft with SDB II bombs, and the command of the US Navy is considering using them on F-18 fighters.

The SDB II is a bomb-class 100-kilogram class (the mass of ammunition is 113 kg). The bomb is capable of hitting static targets at a distance of 110 km and destroying moving equipment at a distance of 70 km from the point of discharge. The military department plans to partially replace SDB II guided missiles, the cost of which is much higher with similar capabilities, reports "Warspot"

The bomb is capable of hitting targets within a radius of 100 km.
Accuracy - 3 m.
In 2003, the bomb was adopted by the Israeli Air Force - installed on F-16 aircraft (1 F-16 aircraft can carry 16 Spice-250 bombs). In addition to Israel, adopted in Greece.

In my opinion, this ammunition is for those cases when the enemy’s air defense is either absent or suppressed. Or bomb the wedding procession.

You yourself, before hinting at the stealth of the aircraft, thought at what distance it is possible to detect it using modern air defense systems. Probably the most-maximum of those written in advertising materials?

And to what temperature do they warm up to you? planning small bombs then.

No. If anything, I’m not trying to say that this bomb is a panacea and a child prodigy, and that, in principle, it is in no way possible to counteract it. I just want to say that this is a very serious weapon, and it’s a pity that they don’t have one.

At high altitudes, the aircraft enters the line of sight of the ground-based detection station. At low altitudes, the plane is invisible due to the curvature of the planet (but visible from flying radars) and because of this same low altitude, only missiles can be used effectively. And stealth in the radio range - only in a narrow frequency range.

The mantra about stealth is no longer relevant. But they will not be allowed to fly up at high altitude.

A serious weapon is a similar missile (it can be used at any height, which dramatically increases the stealth of an aircraft at low altitudes) and the concept of Russian aviation is based on this principle. And not only aviation but also ground systems like Smerch-Hurricane.

[alexmach]

At high altitudes, the aircraft enters the line of sight of the ground detection station

I asked you a simple question. At what distance, subject to the same high-altitude flight and direct visibility, the modern radar (well, say from the S-400) can detect the same notorious F-35? Are you sure that it is more than 100 km?

The mantra about stealth is no longer relevant. But they will not be allowed to fly up at high altitude.

Well, as it seems to me, life will show. The number of these very stealth in the armies of the world is only growing.

I don’t know to what ... Does not matter. The ratio of body temperature to its background is important (and this is not a warm planet "Earth").

What doesn’t play seriously? even if the temperature difference with the background suddenly becomes 1 degree Celsius? A half a degree?
To draw conclusions about applicability, you still need to know and know a lot.

F-35 is visible at any distance, with direct visibility, by a radar with a variable carrier frequency. The situation of resonance of a surface or cavity is caught. Naturally, this is not antediluvian radar but FAR or CAR.

I am very glad that I improved your mood.
What kind of rocket? The engine accelerates the rocket, while it maintains high speed and friction with air is also quite high. We are talking about a planned bomb, without an engine; its planning speed is not high. Air friction not only heats it up but also slows it down. To talk about the possibility of its detection, one must still know to what temperature it is heated and the characteristics of optical detection devices. Without this information, it is just an empty shake of air.

The same goes for stealth. It is necessary in detail both the characteristics and abilities of the radars in service, as well as the characteristics of the aircraft. I unfortunately cannot substantively answer you here.

Except America Owls, no one is obsessed with them

Is it really so straightforward? Take an interest in the number of countries putting them into service or developing them. Russia, if anything, is one of them.

How old are you? Although you do not confess ...

Does this have anything to do with the topic of conversation? Decrypt - please:
Firstly, the more "serious and sophisticated" weapons, the more banal they cost and the less units industry can produce. In the arsenal, it makes sense to have both an expensive and perfect weapon and simpler. SDAB is far from the only type of air strike weapons in the arsenal of "partners".
Secondly, they occupy in the arsenal of partners ... the niche of free-falling bombs. Sorry, but compared to free-falling bombs, it’s almost a “spaceship”
Thirdly, you contrast the cheap and massive ammunition with the most advanced air defense systems, which in itself is stupid.

Strange, you did not understand that this is a reservation (slip).

Quote: alexmach

Let's just say that its temperature depends heavily on altitude and time after the plane takes off (ambient temperature is the main factor). But this does not play a role with such a strong contrast with the cold optical background of the sky (not air - air, does not play a role in the role of an optical system or medium).

The bomb under discussion is in the class of high-precision weapons and the addition of a rocket engine does not complicate it or increase its cost. The most expensive thing in a bomb is a control system that increases the cost by a couple of dozen times.

You have beguiled here. I contrasted the air defense to the aircraft at a distance of 100km and a height of more than 10km. Flying bombs are easily knocked down by cheap art systems (23-30mm) with automated optoelectronic aiming units (which is why we talked about the temperature of the bomb and the contrast of the background).

Any new element complicates and increases the cost of the system, and, among other things, takes away volumes and weight. This bomb is good precisely for its dimensions and payload weight. Well, as well as the number of units that can be transported on one plane.

Yes exactly. Even against the background of relatively warm clouds.
All modern fighters are equipped with optical stations for detecting and targeting in the near zone, both against airplanes, and against other weapons and against the background of the earth.
But a new generation of ROFAR radars is already approaching, which combine the advantages of radio and optical detection i.e. see the picture but in the terrahertz radio range.

Quote: alexmach

Yes, it is getting more expensive. But a mountain of cheap stones will never replace a highly accurate rocket. And these bombs can only be used against the Papuans without air defenses, shooting down an airplane at an average range of 100km and a height of 10km.

Almost now in countries with weak air defense, more precisely in countries where there are no complexes capable of hitting targets like bombs and missiles from such combos there will be no salvation. A strike at the base of the same naval base with several dozens of such bombs will allow, if not destroy the ships, then disable them. And in combination with bombs that can pierce concrete floors - for an air base this is also death. Well. For information of future buyers. Russia has such a complex as Tor. capable of hitting bombs as well. Line up gentlemen

Small-sized guided bombs SDB II is the first in the next generation of intelligent weapons that uses a multi-mode guidance system and a fully integrated data channel to hit moving targets in bad weather conditions or in high-intensity combat conditions.
SDB II is designed to equip 4th and 5th generation fighters, including F-15E Air Force, F-35B ILC and F-35C U.S. Navy. The GBU-53 / B is also compatible with the F-35A, F-22 and F-16C / D Air Force, as well as the US Navy F / A-18E / F.
SDB II can hit targets at ranges of more than 40 miles. The aerial bomb has a powerful warhead capable of destroying armored targets, but creates minimal collateral damage due to a small explosive effect. This is a very high-precision munition and offers the military the ability to retarget the channel of the exchange of data that is transferred to the weapon during the flight.
The bomb is equipped with a three-mode guidance system - millimeter-wave radar, uncooled infrared and semi-active laser. These three modes allow you to find and destroy targets even in adverse weather conditions, increasing the range of destruction by choosing the most favorable guidance mode. The Pentagon has spent more than $ 700 million on the program

Not as far as it seems. For example, a bomb is dropped from an airplane on a moving target from a distance of 70 km. It is dumped, for example, at a speed of 500 km / h. So it will fly to the target for 8,5 minutes (provided that it has the same speed of 500 km / h). During this time, a tank traveling at a speed of 30 km / h will depart at 4,25 km. I don’t think that the bomb will have a narrow guidance system. Most likely the viewing angle will be somewhere +/- 45 degrees. So defeat is quite possible. Of course, this bomb will not be able to cope with a fast-moving target such as a car, but for such purposes there are the same missiles with a laser or TV guidance system and drones as carriers. In general, the psm system is interesting and promising

[Vlad.by]

The target must be captured at the speaker. Millimeter-wave radar and infrared seeker at 70 km capture only in polygon conditions. Is it for naval targets ... Using a laser from the carrier at such a range, illuminate until the moment of defeat, substituting under air defense? Also not an option. Only if there is an anti-aircraft defense group and a cover group. Then where is the savings?
According to Lukashenko, someone is the mouth.

[Vlad.by]

Well, yes, but the air defense will sleep at that time in the pillow ... and at what distance will the target be captured by a millimeter-wide seeker?

[Vadim237]

If the UAV is high-altitude like Global Hawk air defense systems it will be difficult to get it, and small drones will fly low, with the envelope of the terrain - for air defense systems this is also a problem. This bomb will be used when most of the air defense will be destroyed. Her GSN will be able to capture the target at a distance of 7 kilometers, and before that it will be guided by a satellite and radar from the AFAR of a fighter-bomber.

[fzr1000]

Ceiling 18 km, target detection range up to 100 km. What problems with Hawk will our air defense systems have?
