F-15E Teams with Raytheon to Place SDB onto Moving Target
This is the fun stuff! The small diameter bomb is important because it gives a better air-to-ground capability while retaining stealth through internal carriage. But any bomb is only as good as the guidance system that gets it to the target, whether internal to the delivery vehicle (CCIP and similar systems) or carried on-board the weapon (like GPS) or a combination (like seeker/laser designator). A multi-mode seeker like this one, if small enough, is a killer. Great stuff!
