For more than 40 years B-52 Stratofortresses have been the
backbone of the manned strategic bomber force for the United States.
The B-52 is capable of dropping or launching the widest array of
weapons in the U.S. inventory. This includes gravity bombs, cluster
bombs, precision guided missiles and joint direct attack munitions.
Updated with modern technology the B-52 will be capable of delivering
the full complement of joint developed weapons and will continue into
the 21st century as an important element of our nation's defenses.
