The Small Diameter Bomb Increment II (SDB II) is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) managed by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base. The program develops and produces precision-guided, air-launched glide munitions designed to engage both fixed and moving targets. Operating under Acquisition Category IC within the Major Capability Acquisition pathway, the SDB II program represents a significant advancement in air-to-ground weapons capabilities for tactical aircraft across multiple military branches, including the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps.

Contract awards under this program predominantly consist of Cost Plus Fixed Fee delivery orders and Fixed Price Incentive definitive contracts, ranging from small purchases under $100,000 to major production contracts exceeding $600 million with performance periods typically spanning 2-5 years. Raytheon Missile Systems serves as the primary prime contractor, with Boeing and Aeronix also receiving direct awards. Key subcontractors include General Dynamics OTS, Simmonds Precision Products, Mercury Systems, and various specialized manufacturers providing electronic components, munitions hardware, and testing services. The majority of funding flows through the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base, with additional contracts from Naval Air Systems Command. No set-aside designations were utilized across the contract portfolio. Primary places of performance include Tucson, Arizona, where Raytheon conducts most of the development and production work.
