“The backbone of the U.S.’s strategic bomber force, the B-52 Stratofortress, will soon demonstrate advanced communications capabilities through the new AgilePod, enabling a modernized, further-reaching, more secure communication on the historic aircraft.”
That’s the opening of a press release published on the U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) website, spotlighting progress on its AgilePod program.
Nate Dawn, Chief of the AFGSC Strategic Plans and Programs Modernization, Integration, and Technology Transition Branch, is quoted in the article: “Our goal is to accelerate and integrate disruptive technologies onto the B-52, B-1, and possibly other patrol-class aircraft.”
On Feb. 22, test pilots with the 49th Test and Evaluation Squadron completed the initial flight test of the AgilePod.
Fuse is an industry partner on the AgilePod program, as the payload integrator and designer of the TENTaCLE (Tactical Edge Network Targeting in a Contested Long-Range Environment) advanced communications technology.
