| abstract | - The GBU-53/B Small Diameter Bomb II is an American air-launched, guided bomb. Development was started in 2006 for a class bomb that can identify and strike mobile targets from standoff distances in all weather conditions. It will be integrated on the F-15E and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Its first flight was announced on May 1, 2009. The bomb is being developed by Raytheon. A Boeing/Lockheed Martin team attempted to develop it but lost in a U.S. Air Force competition. Boeing won the original competition but the project was on hold for several years due to a corruption scandal involving Darleen Druyun. The competition was reopened in September, 2005.
