During several weeks of testing in February 2015, Boeing and Saab demonstrated that Boeing's Small Diameter Bomb, currently operated as an air-launched weapon, can be adapted for launch from a ground artillery system without compromising its performance. Boeing and Saab will offer the Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb to current and future rocket artillery users under a teaming agreement.
