The B-52 Stratofortress, the oldest strategic bomber in the U.S. military, is set to receive a new designation as part of a structural and technological update.
New Engines and Radar
According to Colonel Louis Ruscetta, the senior materiel leader of the B-52’s modernization program, the venerable strategic comber will be redesignated to either “B-52J” or “B-52K” once it receives the planned new engines and radar.
