Boeing has received a $76 million contract to install the Combat Network Communications Technology (CONECT) on the B-52.
The upgraded communications system will allow aircrews to send and receive information via satellite links.
This allows mission information to be uploaded to a B-52 during flight. Crews can now change mission plans and retarget weapons in flight.
