B-2 SQUADRONS
Abstract
The B-2A Spirit is the world's most advanced long-range strike asset. The unique combination of range, precision, payload, and ability to operate in anti-access environments allow the B-2 to identify, locate, target, and destroy the highest value enemy targets. The B-2 can, with necessary upgrades, accomplish its mission regardless of location, return to base safely, and permit freedom of movement for follow-on forces, including other long range strike platforms. The array of planned RDT&E projects are necessary to both preserve this strategic advantage as well as increase the flexibility, lethality, and survivability of this national asset tasked across a broad spectrum, from tactical to national objectives. Upgrades include, but are not limited to, armament systems, structures, engine improvements, low obervable modifications, trainers, support equipment, Radar Modernization Program (RMP), Link-16 Center Instrument Display (CID)/In-Flight Replanner (IFR), Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Satellite Communication (SATCOM), Mode 5/S Identification Friend or Foe (IFF)-Automatic Dependence Surveillance-Broadcast, Adaptable Communications Suite (ACS), Extremely High Frequency (EHF) SATCOM and Computers, Defensive Management System (DMS), Electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) Hardening Testing, and advanced, low detection data links upgrades. Specific efforts will be managed under one of four projects: 676021 Baseline Support 676022 EHF SATCOM and Computer 676023 Defensive Management System 675345 B-2 Modernization 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.
