Subject: New USAF Bomber to Be Nuke Capable

Nuke for Bomber
Aviation Week & Space Technology

U.S. Strategic Command wants the Air Force?s 2018 bomber to be nuclear-capable, says Vice Adm. Carl Mauney, deputy commander of U.S. Strategic Command. USAF hasn?t firmed up requirements for the system, but is likely to receive funding in the 2010 budget, which will go to Congress in February. However, some advocates of the program argue that adding the communications redundancies and hardening needed to carry out the nuclear mission will increase cost. Mauney, however, notes the system, which will include advanced stealth attributes, is needed for Strategic Command?s nuclear deterrence mission.
