US Army ahead of ITEP schedule despite CDR delay
The Critical Design Review (CDR) phase of the US Army's Improved Turbine Engine Programme (ITEP) has been delayed by two weeks because of COVID-19 issues. …
The USAF plans to upgrade B-1 Lancer bombers (pictured) to carry substantial loads of some of the most advanced long-range munitions in the US inventory, including a prototype air-launched hypersonic weapon.
Gen Timothy Ray, head of Air Force Global Strike Command, said the USAF is looking to modify a squadron of B-1s to increase the long-range precision strike payload, in order to deliver substantial punch from standoff range in the opening salvos of a conflict.
A squadron (typically 18 aircraft) is to be outfitted with external pylons to carry up to six ‘Arrow’ AGM-183 Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapons (ARRWs).
