  • Designed in the mid-70s
  • Heavy steel construction

MAC II

  • 2,000lb. JDAM bomb capacity
  • Designed in 2000 using COTS components
  • Lightweight aluminum throughout

Mission Context

Problem Statement

  • Legacy system too heavy with limited capacity
  • Unable to support 2,000 lb. JDAM requirements
  • Need for lightweight, rapid deployment, with fast assembly
  • Air Force Combat requirements:
    • Modular
    • Rapid setup/teardown
    • Increased bomb assembly efficiency
    • Safety – reduced manual lifting and handling of heavy bombs

Solution Overview

  • MAC II (A/E32K-9) was developed for new generation requirements
  • Compact, lightweight, fully palletized
  • Uses Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components
  • Over 170 systems have been manufactured and deployed worldwide

Key Features
