Lockheed has come up with 18 technology improvements to make the F-117A even harder to detect by hostiles. This includes a new bubble-shaped canopy; and new or improved weapons. The cost of the program is interesting, in that currently the Air Force is spending $11 million annually on modifications of the F-117A, but the new program is budgeted at $48 million for FY96 and $40 million for FY97. It will be real interesting to see what the total 18 improvements are? ------------------------------ End of Skunk Works Digest V5 #270 ********************************* To subscribe to skunk-works-digest, send the command: subscribe skunk-works-digest in the body of a message to "majordomo@mail.orst.edu".
