During a recent test, a B-2 bomber delivered a live 5,000-pound GBU-28C/B bomb, sporting a new BLU-122 warhead, right on target. The GBU-28C/B provides more penetration of a target than its predecessor, the Enhanced GBU-28B/B, say Northrop Grumman officials. Northrop, which now has completed key objectives in its $5.4 million contract to integrate the C/B on the B-2, is working with Raytheon (warhead and upgraded guidance kit) on the program.
Airmen won’t be sent home from enlisted professional military education schools next year for failing the course’s mandatory fitness assessment.
