..."Aboard the B-1 was a modernized Identification Friend or Foe system, Link 16 tactical data communications capability, upgraded secure communications systems, an updated defensive avionics system, and updated mass data storage to handle the large amounts of information flowing through modern battlefields, according to a press release published Oct. 4.
The upgrades are part of the B-1 Embracing Agile Scheduling Team (BEAST) program, which Col. Dan Alford, commander of the 7th Operations Group, said should make the aircrew’s job a little easier."
