As part of our ongoing review of the overall modernization of the strategic bomber force, we have paid particular attention to the Air Force's plans for modifying the B-52 force. We found that certain costly items may not be needed in view of the missions of the various models of the B-52 force and their expected life in the force. More specifically, the offensive avionics system (OAS) modification could be scaled back on 67 B-52Gs by deleting unneeded components for a potential savings of $21.6 million; using certain components acquired for B-52Ds on other B-52 aircraft could further reduce OAS funding needs by $33.3 million; and a $35 million modification to comply with SALT II may not be needed on B-52Hs that have been modified to carry cruise missiles.
