The USAF has given the go-ahead to Northrop Grumman to fit an all new advanced radar to its remaining fleet of 20 B-2 stealth bombers.
The upgrade will see a new advanced electronically scanned array (AESA) radar fitted to the fleet under the Radar Modernization Program (RMP). The new radar will not only add new capabilities to the B-2, but will also be much easier to maintain and support in service.
