About this file
This is an Item Description document for a B-1B aircraft radome component. The radome (NSN 1560012596044EK, CAGE 43999, Reference Number L3050242-051) is an aerodynamic, electromagnetically transparent cover constructed of reinforced plastic that protects radar and electronics systems. The item measures 55 inches in length, 60 inches in width and height, and weighs 100 pounds. It is manufactured from composite bonded polymide/quartz prepreg material with an aluminum alloy 2219-T852 aft frame. The radome is designated as criticality code X, demilitarization code D, and security code J, indicating it is a safety-critical component requiring controlled handling.
The radome assembly consists of a skin, frame, one support assembly, three retainers, and miscellaneous hardware, designed primarily to protect offensive operating systems while ensuring smooth and efficient airflow past the stabilizer. The legacy item description indicates the nose radome measures 72 inches long, 16 inches wide, with 3-inch thickness along the inboard side that tapers to a rounded knife edge at the outboard sides. The document was generated on February 9, 2022, with the initiator identified as Keenon R. Bynum from the 424 SCMS/GUMD organization, with contact information provided through DSN 884-8265 or commercial phone 405-734-8265.
