Six Collaborative Small Diameter Bombs (CSDBs) were released during this test with four from one jet and the other two from another F-16.
One objective of the test was to expand the coverage of the L3Harris Banshee 2 radio network to six weapons and to include a ground station into the testing.
The ground station was able to send an In-Flight Target Update to the weapons while they were in flight, completing the second objective.
The last ojective was a synchronized time on target (STOT) attack on a single target by two CSDBs.
