Mod 1000 is titled "Low Level Capability," cost $313.2 million over FY 59-69, applied to C-H models, and was "to improve bomber penetration capability by flying at 500 feet altitude or below; Includes: Terrain Avoidance Radar (ACR), Improved Radar Altimeter, Increased Cooling Capacity, Equipment Mounting Provisions, Secondary Structural Improvements." http://www.bombnav.org/INFO/B-52/asq-38/b526.htm "The B-52 completed its transformation, from 'high altitude bomber' to 'ground hugger', during the duration of my residency at Robins AFB. That resident assignment - combination program office and technical services - ended December 31, 1963." I wonder if he is still alive? I think he has a website. |
