"Air King" and also upgrade
 
B-1, developed by Boeing variable-geometry wing supersonic long-range multi-purpose strategic bombers, mainly used for the implementation of the strategic penetration bombing, conventional bombing, maritime patrol mission, but also as a cruise missile carrier aircraft. Aircraft on June 29, 1985 the official service in the current service model for the B-1B. In the past, U.S. military participation in the modern war, the aircraft made outstanding contributions to U.S. conventional bombing mission. However, in order to adapt to new mission requirements in the next few years, the B-1B bomber will receive a series of improvement, in order to improve the ability of this bomber.
 
U.S. Air Force for its B-1B long-range strategic bombers to install a new Sniper pod in the pod help, B1-B can be precision bombing attack.
 
Allegedly, the confirmation of the new Sniper pod distance of the first generation of pod 4 times. Laser spot tracker can also use another plane of laser targeting and launch precision bombs, the two aircraft one after the previous pod can not be done, and it is modular design, all the existing linear replaceable unit can be moved during the flight.
In airborne weapons, B-1B can be equipped with a large number of free-fall bombs, also equipped with Tomahawk cruise missiles and other precision-guided weapons on targets in the "carpet bombing" or long-range precision strike. In addition, the B-1B also has the ability to launch nuclear cruise missiles, is an important part of U.S. strategic nuclear deterrent force. The U.S. Air Force is trying to build the air in the Asia-Pacific region, anti-ship platform, eyes on the advantages of the B-1B high-speed, high mobility.
 
The U.S. military has been the B-1B is the world's most powerful strategic bombers, as in the countries in the existing fleet of strategic bombers, B-1B has the technical indicators on the speed, range, payload and climb performance greater advantage in the ultimate speed of 1320 km and a range of 12,000 km, with variable sweep wings and terrain following radar as much as possible to avoid enemy radar reconnaissance, to achieve low-altitude penetration. The person in charge of global security, defense analyst John Parker pointed out that with China in its surrounding waters, especially the performance of the South China Sea has become more aggressive and active, the B-1B bombers may play a major role in the Pacific region.
 
According to Section 337 of the U.S. Air Force test and evaluation squadron commander, George Holland, the current B-1B bomber pilot flight training from the desert environment to adapt to the battlefields of Afghanistan, transferred to the maritime flying training to adapt to the Asia-Pacific environment. Meanwhile, the U.S. Air Force is working with the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, for the B-1 bombers equipped with long-range anti-ship missiles. The future, this bomber will be able to track ships at sea, and from the "hundreds of miles away" any target launch missiles against sea.
One will be able to get the South China Sea "
 
The occasion is about to extricate yourself from the battlefield of Iraq and Afghanistan, President Obama announced in January this year, aims to balance the rise of China's new military strategy. Changes in the B-1B bomber mission is the U.S. Air Force on a new military strategy of one of the main reaction: B-1B bomber mission focus has shifted from the desert and mountain mission in Afghanistan to the sea task transfer.
 
Obviously, this is the Asia-Pacific region, especially for action.
U.S. Air Force said that China is developing anti-access / area denial weapons or long-range missile capable of destroying aircraft carrier or hit the U.S. forward bases to cover the consumer the United States exist in the Asia-Pacific military, U.S. military forces can not be near the Chinese coastal areas. In this case, B-1B bomber will be able to play a major role: without refueling, with 24 joint air-to-surface standoff missile, B-1B bomber combat range covering the South China Sea, most of the goals.
 
Presentations on the performance of this bomber, the Air Force shows the range bombers to Guam's Andersen Air Force Base, the center's activities. B-1B bombers from Guam, has not been any aerial refueling, the joint air-ground standoff missile can use airborne target of most of the coast of the South China Sea and the Western Pacific region continued to blow, this airborne in the middle of changing the flight path of cruise missiles can hit moving targets, such as large Navy ships. The U.S. military believes that the B-1B bombers may be in the Pacific region to play a role, "the South China Sea is a lot of security issues in the Asia-Pacific region today, the situation will only get worse. China and the Philippines, Vietnam is around some of the island's sovereignty quarreled and fishing rights, and this conflict could escalate. "some of the important waterway through the South China Sea, and hold the oil and gas resources. These reasons the United States specifically for this area to deploy the B-1B bomber force.
 
Under the guidance of the U.S. military's new air and maritime war "theory, the B-1B the" old "bomber, at the end of the Cold War once seemed to have lost its uses, and now suddenly once again have the meaning of existence. U.S. Air Force intends to advocate the B-1B bombers strong attacks on maritime targets, to some extent is eager to get out of the shadow of the Army and Marine Corps, because of the war over the past decade is that they play. At the same time, the U.S. Air Force is eager to B-1B bombers come in handy to prove its applicability. B-1B bomber to the lack of more advanced, the ability to evade radar covert operations. Therefore, for those who have a strong air defense capabilities of countries, the B-1B combat viability is doubtful whether the machine can play a useful role in the South China Sea, this is a big question mark.
 
First Coast News website recently reported that the U.S. Department of Defense program in the next few years transformation of B-1 bomber in order to improve the combat capability of this bomber. Reported that China is developing anti-access / area denial weapons or long-range missile capable of destroying aircraft carrier or hit the U.S. forward bases, in order to the Mi eliminate U.S. military presence in the Asia-Pacific, the U.S. military forces can not be near the Chinese coastal areas. With 24 of the joint air-to-surface standoff missile, B-1 bomber, blow in the normal state of the cruise range covering the South China Sea, most of the goals, the U.S. military must have this ability.
