America's B 52 Stratofortress Developed in the 1950s Dropping Bombs Until 2040

The Air Force plan is to keep the historic B-52 bomber relevant and functional for decades well into the 2040s.

The B-52 have previously been able to carry JDAM weapons externally, but with the IWBU the aircraft will be able to internally house some of the most cutting edge precision-guided Joint Direct Attack Munitions and Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles, among others.
