Meanwhile, in a major breakthrough for advocates of long-distance airpower,
Gates strongly endorsed a program for “a new long-range, nuclear-capable
penetrating bomber.” The Air Force has been struggling to get this program
reinstated since Gates deferred development of the so-called “2018 bomber”
in 2009, against the opposition of some senior Pentagon leaders who argued
that smaller unmanned aircraft, plus cruise and ballistic missiles, could
adequately supplement existing bombers in the foreseeable future.
Gates also announced decisions on a number of controversial aspects of the
new aircraft. It will be nuclear-capable — some had argued for this, on the
grounds that radiation-hardening is relatively inexpensive at the design
stage and costly to retrofit, while others had opposed it because it brings
the bomber within the scope of arms-control discussions. Gates also says
that it would be “optionally” piloted rather than unmanned, and that it
would make use of existing technologies to speed development.
