B-21 Raider​

Mission
The B-21 Raider will be a dual-capable penetrating strike stealth bomber capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear munitions. The B-21 will form the backbone of the future Air Force bomber force consisting of B-21s and B-52s. Designed to operate in tomorrow’s high-end threat environment, the B-21 will play a critical role in ensuring America’s enduring airpower capability.

Features
The B-21 Raider will be a component of a larger family of systems for conventional Long Range Strike, including Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, electronic attack, communication and other capabilities. It will be nuclear capable and designed to accommodate manned or unmanned operations. Additionally, it will be able to employ a broad mix of stand-off and direct-attack munitions.

The B-21 is being designed with open systems architecture to reduce integration risk and enable competition for future modernization efforts to allow for the aircraft to evolve as the threat environment changes.

Background
The Department of the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office leads the development of the B-21 Raider under the direction of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment and the Secretary of the Air Force.

The Air Force awarded the B-21 Engineering and Manufacturing Development contract to Northrop Grumman on October 27th, 2015. Northrop Grumman’s partners on the B-21 program include Pratt & Whitney, Janicki Industries, Collins Aerospace, GKN Aerospace, BAE Systems and Spirit Aerosystems.

In 2018, the program successfully conducted the weapon systems Critical Design Review, a comprehensive program-wide evaluation of design maturity, stability and risk.

In 2019, the Air Force completed the Strategic Basing Process announcing Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota; Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri; and Dyess Air Force Base, Texas are the preferred locations for B-21 main operating bases.

After completing the Environmental Impact Statement process as required by the National Environmental Policy Act and other regulatory processes, in 2021, the Air Force named Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota as the first B-21 main operating base and location of the Formal Training Unit.

The Air Force Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base, California will host the B-21 Combined Test Force and the Air Force Sustainment Center at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma is the site for depot planning.

The B-21 Raider is named in honor of the historic Doolittle Raiders, U.S. Army Air Force men who are known for their surprise attack against Japan during World War II on April 18, 1942, which forced the Japanese to recall combat forces for home defense, and boosted morale among Americans and U.S. allies abroad. The designation B-21 recognizes the Raider as the first bomber of the 21st century.

The last B-2 Spirit stealthy long-range strategic bomber was delivered to the US Air Force in 2000. At the time this was the only operational stealthy strategic bomber capable of delivering nuclear weapons. In 2014 a Long Range Strike-Bomber (LRS-B) project was launched by the US Air Force to acquire a successor for the B-2. Companies like Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman were working on the development of new bomber. In 2015 design submitted by Northrop Grumman was selected by the US Air Force. Furthermore Northrop Grumman produced the previous B-2 Spirit bomber. Development and assembly of the first bomber began in 2016. In 2016 the new bomber received official B-21 designation. The new B-21 Raider is a more modern version of the B-2 Spirit. It has similar design, however it is a new aircraft, rather than a modified version of the B-2. In 2021 there were reports that two B-21 bombers were built and are ready for testing. The B-21 was publicly unveiled in 2022. First flight was made in 2023. It is believed that the new bomber will reach initial operating capability during the next few years. It will form the backbone of the US long-range bomber fleet alongside the older B-2 Spirit, B-1B Lancer and B-52 Stratofortress strategic bombers. There were some reports that the US Air Force want to start replacing its oldest B-2 Spirit bombers in the mid 2020s. In 2020 the US Ministry of Defense announced that they might order a total of 145 B-21 bombers if the flight tests will be successful. By 2022 some B-2 airframes could be nearly 30 years old and the newest ones are 22 years old. It is planned that the B-21 will gradually replace all 20 operational B-2 Spirit stealthy bombers and 43 B-1B Lancer conventional bombers, that currently are not tasked to carry nuclear weapons. Interestingly the ageing B-52 Stratofortress strategic bombers, that were developed back in the late 1940s, will remain in service with the US Air Force.

The bat-like B-21 Raider was developed to attack Russian and Chinese targets of highest priority with nuclear weapons.

This bomber is made of composite material with a radar-absorbent honeycomb structure. It also has a special coating with provides much of its stealth. It was designed using far more advanced computers than the B-2 and on the first look has more aerodynamic surfaces, while maintaining stealth. The B-21 is smaller and lighter than the B-2.

This bomber has minimal radar and infrared signature. It has a radar cross section should be around 0.0001 m².

This stealthy bomber can carry new weapons including nuclear-tipped stealthy cruise missiles, such as AGM-158A JASSM and extended-range AGM-158B JASSM-ER. These stealthy missiles were specially designed to penetrate advanced Russian and Chinese air defense systems. The AGM-158A has a range of 370 km, while the improved AGM-158B has a range of 930 km. Both missiles have conventional warheads. So the B-21 can launch its missiles at standoff range, without entering enemy air defense zone. Around 16 of these missiles can be carried.

The B-21 Raider can also carry AGM-154C JSOW precision glide bombs. These have a range of 22 to 130 km depending on release altitude and were designed to attack hardened targets. Other weapons carried by the B-21 could include thermonuclear free-fall bombs and penetration bombs.

It is unclear if the B-21 Raider uses a shielded radar, electro-optical systems or satellite navigation system to identify its targets. Though it is most likely that this aircraft has an advanced electronic warfare system.

This bomber is operated by a crew of 2. Cockpit as well as instrument panels of the B-21 bomber were kept in secrecy.

Unit price of the B-21 Raider is unknown, however most likely that it exceeds the B-2 price of $900 million per unit by a significant margin. So highly likely that the B-21 is the costliest warplane ever built.

Design of NSSN Virginia-Class submarines​

The engineering teams and design and build teams at Electric Boat in partnership with the Naval Sea Systems Command, NAVSEA, of the US Navy used extensive CAD / CAE simulation systems to optimise the design of the submarine.
The hull is 377ft long with a beam of 34ft and the displacement of 7,300t dived, which is smaller than the more expensive Seawolf attack submarine with a displacement of 9,137t dived.
The hull structure contains structurally integrated enclosures, which accommodate standard 19in and 24in width equipment for ease of installation, repair and upgrade of the submarine’s systems.
The submarine is fitted with modular isolated deck structures, for example, the submarine’s command centre will be installed as one single unit, resting on cushioned mounting points. The submarine’s control suite is equipped with computer touch screens.
The submarine’s steering and diving are controlled via a four-button, two-axis joystick.
The noise level of Virginia is equal to that of the US Navy Seawolf, SSN 21, with a lower acoustic signature than the Russian Improved Akula-Class and fourth-generation attack submarines. To achieve the low acoustic signature, Virginia incorporates newly designed anechoic coatings, isolated deck structures and a new design of propulsor.
Goodrich is supplying high-frequency sail array acoustic windows and composite sonar domes.

Command system​

The command and control systems module (CCSM) was developed by a team led by Lockheed Martin Naval Electronics & Surveillance Systems – Undersea Systems (NE&SS-US) of Manassas, Virginia, US. It will integrate all of the vessel’s systems – sensors, countermeasure technology, navigation and weapon control and will be based on open system architecture (OSA) with Q-70 colour common display consoles.
Weapon control is provided by Raytheon with a derivative of the CCS mk2 combat system, the AN/BYG-1 combat control system, which was fitted to the Australian Collins-Class submarines.
Virginia has two mast-mounted Raytheon submarine high data rate (sub HDR) multiband satellite communications systems that enable simultaneous communication at a super-high frequency (SHF) and extremely high frequency (EHF).

Weapon systems​

The Virginia-Class attack submarine is equipped with 12 vertical missile launch tubes and four 533mm torpedo tubes. The vertical launching system has the capacity to launch 16 Tomahawk submarine-launched cruise missiles (SLCM) in a single salvo. There is a capacity for up to 26 mk48 ADCAP mod 6 heavyweight torpedoes and sub harpoon anti-ship missiles to be fired from the 21in torpedo tubes. Mk60 CAPTOR mines may also be fitted.
An integral lock-out / lock-in chamber is incorporated into the hull for special operations. The chamber can host a mini-submarine such as Northrop Grumman’s Oceanic and Naval Systems advanced SEAL delivery system (ASDS) to deliver special warfare forces such as navy sea air land (SEAL) teams or marine reconnaissance units for counter-terrorism or localised conflict operations.

Countermeasures​

Virginia is fitted with the AN/WLY-1 acoustic countermeasures system developed by Northrop Grumman, which provides range and bearing data, along with the mast-mounted AN/BLQ-10 electronic support measures (ESM) system from Lockheed Martin Integrated Systems.
AN/BLQ-10 provides full-spectrum radar processing, automatic threat warning and situation assessment.

Sensors​

The Virginia-Class sonar suite includes a bow-mounted active and passive array, wide aperture passive array on the flank, high-frequency active arrays on keel and fin, TB 16 towed array and the Lockheed Martin TB-29A thin line towed array with the AN/BQQ-10(V4) sonar processing system. A Sperry Marine AN/BPS-16(V)4 navigation radar, operating at I-band, is fitted.
The submarines have two Kollmorgen AN/BVS-1 photonic masts, rather than optical periscopes. Sensors mounted on the non-hull-penetrating photonic mast include LLTV (low-light TV), thermal imager and laser rangefinder. The mast is the Universal Modular Mast developed by Kollmorgen and its Italian subsidiary, Calzoni.
The Boeing LMRS long-term mine reconnaissance system will be deployed on the Virginia Class. LMRS includes two 6m autonomous unmanned underwater vehicles and 18m robotic recovery arm and support electronics.
Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems supplies the lightweight, wide-aperture array (LWWAA) system based on fibre-optic arrays, instead of traditional ceramic hydrophone sensors.
LWWAA is a passive ASW sonar system, which consists of three large array panels mounted on either side of the submarine’s hull. Lockheed Martin provided acoustic rapid commercial-off-the-shelf insertion (A-RCI) hardware for the sonar system upgrade. The $25.1m contract was awarded in August 2009 and deliveries were completed in 2012.
In January 2011, an $84m contract was awarded to Lockheed Martin for submarine sonar upgrades.
Northrop Grumman designed and delivered a new hull-mounted acoustic Advanced Flank Array (AFA) for the Virginia-Class submarine, investing more than $3m. The system underwent testing in November 2017 and demonstrated its capability to address next-generation flank array requirements.

Propulsion​

The main propulsion units are the GE pressure water reactor S9G designed to last as long the submarine, two turbine engines with one shaft and a United Defense pump jet propulsor, providing 29.84MW. The speed is over 25k dived.
