Raytheon awarded $200M for SDB II life-cycle support

The Air Force has awarded Raytheon a $200 million contract for Small Diameter Bomb II engineering and manufacturing development integration, production, sustainment and testing.

The indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity life-cycle support contract covers obsolescence analysis and management, logistics support, training, upgrades and software updates too.

A Defense Department announcement states the Air Force will also use the agreement to acquire "studies and analysis related to current and future expansion of system performance, simulations, modeling, test hardware, technical support, aircraft integration activities, and procurement of all associated test hardware to support the activities and repair of non-warranted assets."

Raytheon is expected to complete this work in Tucson, AZ before October 2024. The Air Force did not obligate any funds at the time of the award.
