A new generation of smart air launched miniature munitions/stores including such stores as the Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) is in the early stages of development by the services. The initial versions of these stores will range primarily from 100 to 350 pounds, with variants for attack of fixed, re- locatable, and mobile targets. The primary carriage mode for existing aircraft will be via advanced captive dispensers with internal electronics, which provide for interfacing and carriage of multiple miniature stores on a single aircraft store station. Some future aircraft or unmanned combat air vehicles may, however, provide areas for direct primary carriage and interfacing of these stores without intervening carriage devices. To minimize the logistics impact, the dispensing system will be common in design and/or technology and have application across multiple munition types and delivery platforms.
