  3. OVERVIEW • PROGRAM BACKGROUND • OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS • PROGRAM SCHEDULE

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. REQUIREMENTS

  7. Miniaturized Munitions Concept MMC Umbrella Future Phase I Wide Area Search Autonomous Attack Miniature Munition (WASAAMM) SDB Fixed Phase II 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-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

  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
