Saab and Boeing have successfully adapted the Boeing’s Small Diameter Bomb I for launch from a ground artillery system.
The companies recently tested the Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB), integrating the SDB I standoff bomb with the Norwegian Nammo M26 rocket motor for the Multiple Launch Rocket System.
The testing proved that the bomb can withstand a rocket artillery launch without its performance being compromised.
GLSDB allows the artillery system to reach targets from significantly longer distances, and engage hard-to-reach targets, while maintaining the Small Diameter Bomb’s flight maneuverability and accuracy.
