Barksdale bombers expand B-52's capabilities
Friday's mission involving three B-52 bombers on a maritime strike mission marked the first active-duty use of the Litening targeting pod on the Stratofortress.
The bombers use their pods to gather intelligence on the target, the Military Sealift Command's USNS 2nd Lt. John P. Bobo, and beamed it back to planners on land.
