Description
The DoD must field weapon systems more rapidly in order to retain technological advantage over its peer competitors. This goal necessitates a paradigm shift to transform the acquisition process from the costly and time-consuming design-build-test methodology into a modern model-analyze-build approach that complements the use of virtual/physical prototyping and experimentation. Recent examples have shown that the efficient use of computational tools and digital models can greatly accelerate design optimization, prototype development, test and evaluation, and sustainment activities. The B-52 modification strategy includes two prototype aircraft, virtual component prototypes, follow-on rapid fielding / production and deployment, and sustainment. The B-52 program will use innovative technologies to rapidly develop fieldable prototypes to demonstrate new capabilities and meet emerging military needs. The overall trend supports owning the technical baseline and other related efforts.
