  • ERDC helps breathe new life into Boeing B-52 aircraft

    VICKSBURG, Miss. – In an effort to enhance acquisition programs for all branches of the U.S. military, a team of engineers and technical experts from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) have developed a cloud-based digital engineering environment that includes specific hardware, a variety of design tools and access to high-performance computing. This technology was put to use when the ERDC’s Information Technology Lab (ITL) was asked to help the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) accomplish their tasks for the B-52H Commercial Engine Replacement Program (CERP) – a modernizing effort to install new Rolls Royce F130 engines onto the 70-year-old B-52 bomber fleet. This update is projected to increase system reliability and significantly reduce current maintenance costs.
