As a “network”-enabled weapon with a two-way data link similar in some respects to the US Navy’s Block IV Tomahawk cruise missile, the Stormbreaker can receive new or updated targeting specifics while “in-flight” to adjust to changing targets. This kind of breakthrough, which exists on both the Tomahawk and Stormbreaker, can be seen as a critical step along the way to “collaborative” bomb attack technology now emerging with the US Air Force. Through a program known as Golden Horde, the Air Force is making breakthrough progress “networking” bombs to one-another in flight to coordinate attack details, adjust to changing targets and essentially “share” time-sensitive combat information in real time autonomously between two or more bombs. These breakthroughs, which are showing promise in tests with the Air Force Research Laboratory, are also beginning to leverage cutting edge applications of AI able to gather and analyze incoming sensor data at the point of collection, while also networking with a host platform. This kind of “collaborative bombing” could be seen as a new “next” incremental step in network enabled warfare demonstrating the maturation of critical bomb networking technologies built into the Stormbreaker.
