Venerable B-52 bomber gets network centric

One would guess that when its designers saw their first B-52 fly in 1954, they never envisioned nor worried about it being part of network centric warfare. They might not have guessed the B-52 would still be the key cog in the US Air Force’s long-range bombing fleet in 2010, but that’s another story.

But that’s what’s happening as today is that Boeing said it had successfully completed its first test flight test of a B-52H upgraded with brand spanking new digital network backbone.
