Datalink for Raytheon's GBU-53/B Small Diameter Bomb II Ready to Fly
Raytheon completed a series of hardware-in-the-loop laboratory tests on the GBU-53/B Small Diameter Bomb II's datalink, a crucial step to clearing the datalink for flight tests later this month.
During the tests, engineers verified the Rockwell Collins datalink worked as anticipated in a variety of demanding circumstances. Because of the GBU-53/B's datalink's performance, engineers will now conduct UHF and Link 16-mode testing of the datalink from a UH-1 helicopter.
