The US Air Force just flew its newest upgrade to the formidable B-1 Lancer Strategic Bomber. This modified B-1B, under the DoD’s BEAST program, is the latest iteration of the aircraft that extends its operational lifetime to “2040 and beyond”. According to official reports upgraded B-1s contain a technology overhaul that significantly increases the lethality of the bomber, and give them the capabilities they need in the next war.

BEAST, or the B-1 Embracing Agile Scheduling Team program, outside of being a 5/10 acronym at best, is an upgrade program for the fleet of 45 B-1B Lancer supersonic bombers in the Air Force’s inventory. The goal was to provide an upgrade package with an emphasis on not disrupting operational capacity of the small fleet during the actual upgrade process.
