OKLAHOMA CITY, April 25 (UPI) -- A software upgrade by Northrop Grumman for managing weapons aboard B-2 stealth bombers has successfully undergone a U.S. Air Force preliminary design review.
"We're simplifying the software used by the B-2 to manage its weapons," said Dave Mazur, Northrop Grumman vice president and B-2 program manager, Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. "Today we have several stand-alone programs that each manage a specific type of mission. We're replacing that software with a single program that can manage all of those mission types."
