Research Paper Release: Understanding the B-21 Raider: America’s Deterrence Bomber

The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies invites you to listen to the rollout of our newest research paper: Understanding the B-21 Raider: America’s Deterrence Bomber by Mark Gunzinger, Director of Future Concepts and Capability Assessments.

Gunzinger was joined by Maj Gen Jason R. Armagost, Director of Strategic Plans, Programs, and Requirements, Air Force Global Strike Command to discuss the opportunities the B-21 program presents. They discussed the need to rebuild a U.S. bomber force that can provide theater commanders with the range, capacity, and precision they need to defeat peer aggression, and then sustain operations to secure the peace. The B-21 also plays a key role as part of the nation’s nuclear triad.
