First EHF Satcom Hardware Installed On B-2s

First EHF Satcom Hardware Installed On B-2s: "Northrop Grumman technicians here have begun installing the first set of hardware for a B-2 stealth bomber upgrade that will eventually allow the jet to send and receive battlefield information up to 100 times faster than its current satellite communications system. The work is being done as part of Increment 1 of the U.S. Air Force's B-2 extremely high frequency (EHF) satellite communications program."
