The B-1R is a proposed replacement for the B-1B fleet.[8] Boeing's director of global strike integration, Rich Parke, was first quoted about the “B-1R” bomber in Air Force Magazine. Parke said the B-1R (R stands for “regional”) would be a Lancer with advanced radars, air-to-air missiles, and F-22 engines. Its new top speed—Mach 2.2—would be purchased at the price of a 20 percent reduction of the B-1B’s combat range. The FB-22 is an alternative proposal.
Additional enhancements would include network-centric capabilities, air-to-air engagement, active electronically-scanned array radar, improved defensive systems, and opening up existing external hard points for conventional weapons.
Queste affermazioni mi sembrano superate dal QDR, ma quanto sarebbe fattibile una cosa del genere?
A proposito come mai si è optato per la cancellazione dello standoff jammer con la cellula del B52?
Non sarebbe il caso di optare per una cellula commerciale, 737 o 767 per intenderci, ci verrebbe un bell'aereo da jamming
