Development & System Integration —
• 2 Contractors = 24 months
- Design and test warhead, fuze,
GPS/INS guidance, carriage
for fixed target SDB
- Develop common aircraft ICD
一 Verify system level
performance requirements are
achievable for fixed target
variant
一 Concurrent development and
maturation of seeker/ATR
algorithms
- Develop and test Seeker/ATR
- Verify costs are below
threshold amount for fixed
target SDB and delta for
mobile target variant
