Raytheon has completed developmental testing on the Small Diameter Bomb II, the company announced on 19 April. Raytheon has also begun work on the SDB II second production lot after completing delivery of Lot 1 in 2017. During developmental testing, pilots dropped 44 SDB II bombs which chose the correct target from among decoys and proved compatibility with the F-15E Strike Eagle.
Early SDB II integration work has begun on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.
