All Eyes on Long Range Strike Bomber Contract | DoD Buzz: Defense contractors and industry observers are eagerly awaiting news from the Pentagon on which company will be selected to develop its future fleet of bombers.
The contract for the U.S. Air Force’s so-called Long Range Strike Bomber, or LRS-B, was initially expected to be announced in the spring but was delayed by several months.
Lt. Gen. Arnold Bunch, military deputy for the office of the assistant secretary of the Air Force for acquisition, on Sept. 29 told members of the House Armed Services Committee’s Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee that the award would be issued “within the next couple of months.”
