Small bomb could vastly increase strike capability of U.S. aircraft

Article Abstract:

Pentagon is testing a small precision bomb that would vastly improve the attack capability of U.S. aircraft simply by increasing the arsenal that could be sent aloft. The Small Diameter Bomb (SDB), a 250-pound weapon with fold-out wings and advanced, jam-resistant, Global Positioning System-Inertial Navigation System (GPS-INS) guidance, would give a fighter or bomber unprecedented levels of precision attack capability and stand-off protection.
