Historical assessment published June 11, 2025: Replaces the APQ-166 radar with an active electronically scanned array radar across 76 B-52H aircraft. The report identifies two development and 74 procurement quantities, and reports delays to production and initial capability schedules. Plans and forecasts describe the report period, not verified current status.
B-52H bomber fleet covered by GAO’s 2025 engine-replacement and radar-modernization assessments. The two upgrade programs have separate acquisition scopes.
