B-52 Modernization

Abstract

Arms Control Activities activation under the New Start Treaty drives the need to modify approximately 28 B-52s to a conventional only role by removing the Nuclear Code Enable Switch and associated equipment. This requires a complete design to remove the equipment from the aircraft and install metal plates prohibiting reinstallation of removed equipment to comply with treaty protocols. 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.
