B-2B

B-2B under the Air Force's Aircraft Procurement budget activity aims to provide interim maintenance and repair capability for legacy B-2 Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) and Shop Replaceable Units (SRUs) until permanent depot repair capability is established. This includes repairing airframe structures, hydro-mechanical components, avionics components, and providing travel support and interim repair to alternate mission equipment. Additionally, the program supports the procurement, replacement, upgrade, test, integration, and shipment of B-2 peculiar support equipment (PSE) and Special Test Equipment (STE) capabilities through the Weapon System Support Center (WSSC). The WSSC is a unique facility that develops, maintains, sustains, integrates, tests, and certifies the B-2 Spirit Software.

The objectives of Program B-2B are to ensure the operational readiness of the B-2 weapon system by providing essential maintenance and repair capabilities for legacy components and new aircraft modification components. The program also aims to support software development and sustainment activities by acquiring, replacing, upgrading, integrating, and testing obsolete B-2 Peculiar Support Equipment and Special Test Equipment capabilities. Additionally, the program seeks to provide interim contractor support until final maintenance support is determined for various components such as displays and the B-2 Adaptable Communications Suite (ACS) 4.0. Overall, Program B-2B plays a crucial role in sustaining the operational capabilities of the B-2 weapon system through essential maintenance and support activities.
