USAF Receives 1st B-1 Equipped With Boeing Integrated Battle Station

'Turns The Bomber Into A New Aircraft', Boeing Says

The U.S. Air Force received the first B-1 bomber upgraded with the Boeing Integrated Battle Station, which essentially turns the B-1 into a new aircraft with the addition of full color displays, moving maps and a new diagnostics system.

The first airplane was delivered on Jan. 21.
 
The upgrade, the most extensive modification program in B-1 history, enhances the bomber by giving crews greater situational awareness of what is happening in the battlespace around them, in addition to faster and more secure communication capabilities that improve crews’ ability to engage enemy targets.

Defense World reports that the process involved three major modifications to the aircraft, including an upgraded front and cockpit, new diagnostics, and a Link 16 data system.
