Modification kits to replace the bombers’ receiver and processor will be available beginning in 2011. The RMIP kit comprises a new radar transmitter and receiver, a radar processor computer, and a software package. Initial flight testing of the new hardware and completed software modes on a test bed aircraft are set for later this year. The testing will continue as the software modes are developed with flights slated through 2009. In turn, Boeing will flight-test a fully upgraded RMIP aircraft at Edwards AFB Calif., in 2010 and will support field installation and checkout of the RMIP kits at Dyess AFB, Texas; Ellsworth AFB, S.D.; and Tinker AFB. Installation is scheduled to be completed in 2014.
