The Air Force is scheduled to select an industry lead systems integrator for its B-52 Stand-Off Jammer program, moving the B-52H into the arena of radar-jamming. The Air Force will award $236 million for a 25-month contract to develop the pre-system and demonstration portion of the program.

USAF expects the Electric BUFFs to reach initial operational capability by 2014. Read our article “The New Way of Electron War,” which describes this new mission for an old bomber.
