CONTESTED, DEGRADED,
AND OPERATIONALLY
LIMITED ENVIRONMENTS
MOBILITY FORCES
FACE NOW AND IN

MOBILITY GUARDIAN
WILL BE HOSTED AT
FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE

WASHINGTON UNTIL

SOME NEW FEATURES
MAY BE COMING TO THE
B-1B LANCER BOMBER.
THE IDEA IS TO
EXPAND THE WEAPON
CAPACITY TO MAKE
THE BOMBER MORE
EFFICIENT SO THAT
IT CAN STRIKE MORE
TARGETS, ALLOWING
MORE TO BE DONE
DURING A MISSION
WITH FEWER AIRCRAFT.
AIR FORCE GLOBAL
STRIKE COMMAND AND
INDUSTRY PARTNERS
ATTENDED AN EXPANDED
CARRIAGE
DEMONSTRATION AT
EDWARDS AIR FORCE
BASE, CALIFORNIA.
THE PLANS, IF
APPROVED, WILL
INCREASE THE AMOUNT
OF WEAPONS THE
BOMBER CAN CARRY
FROM 24 TO
POTENTIALLY 40, ALSO
OPENING THE DOOR FOR
THE AIRCRAFT TO
CARRY LARGER
MUNITIONS, SUCH AS
HYPERSONIC WEAPONS.
THE MODIFICATION IS
AN EASILY REVERSIBLE
ONE, WHICH CAN TAKE
AS LITTLE AS A FEW
WORK SHIFTS WITH THE
MAINTAINANCE FLIGHT.
AIRMEN SHOULD BE
PREPARED FOR WHAT TO
DO BEFORE, DURING,
AND AFTER A
HURRICANE.
