B-52 modernization effort sees delays, rising costs, watchdog finds
The Air Force is working to extend the life of its B-52 bomber fleet. Plans are in place to keep these planes in service through 2050. However, a government review has found issues with the upgrade process.
Cost and scheduling problems have been identified in key areas of the modernization effort. This could potentially affect the readiness of the bomber fleet. Further information on the progress and challenges of the B-52 modernization can be found in a recent report from the Government Accountability Office.
