250-Pound SDB (Small Diameter Bomb)

     Notes: The SDB was designed to allow aircraft to use smaller, more-accurate ordnance to make surgical strikes on targets while jeopardizing as little innocent life as possible. The SDB has a fire control bonus of +4, even if the releasing aircraft has a lesser fire control bonus.  In general, only US-aligned aircraft use the SDB, for now anyway. They are normally carried on an MER formed when an adapter is attached to a 2000-pound (907-kilogram) bomb rack, and up to four may be carried on such a rack.  Of course, more adapters on larger racks may be used, or smaller numbers of SDBs on smaller racks (or in singles, as on UAVs).

     When released and clear of the aircraft, the SDB pops out triangular wings sets pop out and enable gliding of up to 110 kilometers when dropped at an altitude of at lease 4500 meters.  (Get your trig ready to figure out drops from lower altitudes!).  The base SDB (GBU-39/B) uses GPS/INS guidance to achieve a CEP of 5-8 meters.  Link 16 on the dropping aircraft or the equivalent are required to properly use the SDB; without this, the SDB is simply a small and somewhat inaccurate, ordinary bomb, with -2 to hit and becomes one level harder, unless the aircraft has a GPS receiver.

     The SDB FLM Focused Lethality Munition (GBU-39A/B) is essentially the same bomb at its base, but replaces the steel fragmentation jacket with a frangible composite jacket to further minimize unintended casualties, especially in urban warfare. 

     The Laser SDB (GBU-39B/B) is essentially the same as a GBU-39B, but has a further laser seeker in the nose which allows it to be used in a high-EW environment or against a moving target. Note that the Laser SDB it still unable to hit targets in zero or near-zero visibility, and can hit targets moving at a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour if the pilot wants to hit at normal chances. (1.5 times that speed is Average, 2 times that speed is Difficult, 2.5 times that speed in Impossible, and all other speeds are Very Impossible.)  The Laser SDB appeared on the scene at about the same time as the SDB II Stormbreaker, but is still used by the Air Force and Navy as it is less expensive than the Stormbreaker.  The Laser SDB can also be used against maritime targets.

     Some other versions of the SDB are being experimented with.  The SDB HOG-J (Home-on-GPS Jam) uses electronics from an AGM-88 HARM missile; the bomb homes in on the enemy jamming signal;, then uses its GPS guidance module to further localize the emitter and destroy it.

     The SDB is being tested with Scientific Systems’ ImageNav technology, which gives the SDB a TERCOM-type guidance and the ability to match targets, even those moving, with the ImageNav technology to increase CEP to as little as 3 meters.

     The SDB AW (Alternative Warhead) is a derivation of the M270’s GMLRS AW warhead to produce a SADARM-type warhead, yet leave only inert components behind when the individual projectiles do not find a target.  The SDB AW carries eight SADARM warheads, which hit on a d20 roll of 16.

     The SDB II, now renamed as the Stormbreaker, (GBU-53/B) is somewhat smaller than the SDB I, and is optimized for use against light armor and soft-skinned vehicles.  Furthermore, it’s guidance system is designed for tracking and attacking moving vehicles, and can also be used against maritime targets.  The Stormbreaker uses GPS/INS to guide itself into the general vicinity of the target, with course correction updates using the aircraft’s Link 16 system over UHF radio.  For terminal guidance, the Stormbreaker switches to millimetric radar and IR.  The Stormbreaker also carries a database of vehicles and targets loaded into it shortly before dropping using the aircraft’s Link 16 system.  The Stormbreaker can be used by aircraft that do not have Link 16 or its equivalent (for NATO and other allied countries), but this essentially requires that the Stormbreaker guide itself, and such use is at -2 to hit and becomes one level harder.  As stated, the Stormbreaker is optimized for antivehicle use, and has a HEAT warhead with a steel penetration nose.

*The speed of this glide bomb depends on the speed of the reasing aircraft.  For the first 30 seconds, the Viper Strike has the speed of the releasing aircraft; after that, speed diminishes every 20 seconds by 10%. They fall at a 10:1 ratio (falls 1m down for every 10m it falls forward).  However, the fall rate and fall path can be steepened or turned  by pre-launch commands or by the launching aircraft.  It can also pull back up to its normal fall rate (essentially, performing defensive maneuvers or adjusting to better hit the target,)

1000-Pound SFW (Sensor-Fused Weapon):  This US weapon is cluster weapon containing 10 submunitions.  Each submunition contains a further 4 Skeet smart top-attack munitions, each with an explosively formed penetrators, similar to the SADARM howitzer round.  These projectiles are released over the burst area on parachutes, each seeking the nearest target via an infrared sensor.  When they sense a target, they fire as if a Tac Missile with a hit roll of 13. If no targets are sensed, the munitions descend to the ground and explode.   Weight: 420 kg; Price: $6500
