Summary The United States Air Force needs a new bomber. The service appears to have a reasonable understanding of the necessary technological and financial considerations, but it must remain attentive to the numerous hurdles this program will face. Successfully procuring the B-3 will depend on the air force's freedom to manage the program independently. The service should focus on delivering the program on time, that is, by the mid-2020s, to avoid outside meddling with the specific, narrow set of capabilities the air force needs. Buying the B-3 the right way will require the US Air Force to buck generations of centralization in the procurement process
