US Fighters May Carry StormBreaker Foul-Weather Bomb by Next Year
Military.com 18 Jul 2018 By Oriana Pawlyk

FARNBOROUGH, England -- Testing for Raytheon’s Stormbreaker precision-guided bomb, which can go after moving targets in bad weather, is "going so well" it may be fielded earlier than expected, according to company officials.

The U.S. Air Force's System Programs Office "is looking at [the bomb and saying], 'This is going so well' that they're pulling the timeline left because they want to potentially field it early," said Jim Meger of Raytheon's Missile Systems business development. Meger spoke to Military.com Tuesday during an interview at the Farnborough air show here.
