雷聲公司贏得小直徑炸彈 II合同
2010-08-12
【據英國《飛行國際》網站2010年8月9日報導】 雷聲公司擊敗波音公司/洛克希德•馬丁公司聯合團隊,贏得美國空軍和海軍價值4.5億美元的小直徑炸彈 II(SDB II)合同,鞏固了其在全天候攻擊移動目標彈藥市場的地位。小直徑炸彈II將裝備美國最先進的戰術對地攻擊飛機,包括F-15E、F-35B和F-35C等。該彈彈重113 kg,最先進之處是採用了光電、半主動鐳射和毫米波雷達三模導引頭,可在惡劣氣象條件下攻擊固定和移動目標。波音公司曾在2003年獲得小直徑炸彈研製和生產合同,其小直徑炸彈II的競標方案是採用小直徑炸彈彈體以及已經停研的“聯合通用導彈”(JCM)所用的三模導引頭;雷聲公司的三模導引頭則採用的是停研的原陸軍“改進型精確對地攻擊導彈”(IPAM)所用的技術。近期美國陸軍還有一項重大的武器合同競標,即取代“聯合通用導彈”的“聯合空對地導彈”(JAGM)專案,競標方是雷聲公司/波音公司聯合團隊和洛克希德•馬丁公司,其關鍵技術亦是三模導引頭。(中國航空工業發展研究中心 魯進軍)

Raytheon wins SDB II contract over Boeing/Lockheed team
By Stephen Trimble
Raytheon has won a $450 million contract to launch development of the small diameter bomb increment II (SDB II) for the US Air Force and Navy, a competitive triumph over a Boeing/Lockheed Martin team that seemed to be the early favourite for the award.
The award gives Raytheon a key position in the hotly contested market for an all-weather munition that can strike targets on the move. The weapon will be integrated on the US military's most advanced tactical strike aircraft - the Boeing F-15E and Lockheed Martin F-35B and F-35C.
Raytheon says the company is "pleased" by the contract award, but declines further comment until a press conference scheduled next week.
The key technology in the competition to deliver the 113kg (250lb)-class SDB II is a tri-mode seeker, with electro-optical, semi-active laser and millimetre wave radar on board. In bad weather, the weapon could shift terminal guidance from the laser to the radar, allowing the SDB II to strike stationary or moving targets even in bad weather.
Boeing originally won the SDB contract in 2003. The programme was split into two increments after it was revealed that former air force acquisition official Darleen Druyun steered the contract to Boeing as a "gift" in return for future employment.
Shortly afterward, Raytheon entered the competition after the only two previous SDB competitors - Boeing and Lockheed - decided to team up.
The Boeing team planned to offer the SDB Increment 1 body with a tri-mode seeker derived from the terminated Lockheed Joint Common Missile (JCM).
Meanwhile, Raytheon adapted a tri-mode seeker originally developed for the US Army's iPAM precision attack missile programme, which was also subsequently cancelled.
The SDB II contract is awarded as the army enters the last few months of the competition for the joint air to ground missile (JAGM) contract, which replaces JCM. JAGM is a competition between a Raytheon/Boeing team and Lockheed, and also involves a weapon with a tri-mode seeker.
