Next—The Electro BUFF
It seems there is no end to the versatility of the B-52 bomber. Will it become a stand-off jammer? Boeing company officials publicly launched a campaign Tuesday to get the contract for the new Buff SOJ team of Boeing and BAE Systems, saying their combination of platform expert and highly experienced electronic warfare integrator has the “vision and capability to deliver.” The Air Force expects to have an operational B-52 SOJ by 2012. We offer more information on the project here.
BAE Systems has received a contract from Lockheed Martin to install an upgraded Block 4 electronic warfare system into new F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, as well as to retrofit some older jets.
