1st Lt. Samuel Strickland, a resource advisor assigned to the 69th Bomb Squadron, completes pre-flight checks on a AGM-86B Air Launched Cruise Missile, Aug. 12, 2020, at Minot air Force, ND. The purpose of the five to ten year comprehensive test is to demonstrate the capability of the B-52H aircraft to provide the required voltage levels for the mission configuration at the AGM-86B-to-W80 interface. The test data will be analyzed to compare against previous data in order to monitor changes in the baseline, thus indicating a design issue created by aging, aircraft modification, or a combination thereof. The required sample size for this test will meet a historical Sandia National Laboratories requirement of two B-52 aircrafts.(U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Jesse Jenny)
