B-52 Squadrons
Abstract
The B-52H is a long-range bomber capable of delivering the widest variety of nuclear and conventional standoff and direct attack munitions in the Air Force. The Air Force plans to fly the B-52H to 2050. The B-52H modernization efforts are needed to perform current and future wartime missions and to ensure relevance, lethality and survivability. Additionally, modernization projects alleviate aircraft obsolescence issues due to Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) while at the same time providing improved capabilities to the B-52H weapon system that require significant hardware and software development and testing. B-52 funding also supports innovation activities including, but not limited to tech demonstrations, studies, analyses, requirements definition, and quick-reaction capability prototypes/demonstrations to accelerate planning for technology transition, technology insertion, and future acquisition programs. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY23 22.128M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY24 27.494M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D In FY 2024 B-52 Mission Employment Trainer and B-52 Airspace Compliance were new starts. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
