About this program
The B-2 Display Modernization Program (B-2 BDM) is a Category II Major Capability Acquisition program focused on modernizing display systems for the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber fleet. Operating under the Major Defense Program ID 431, this acquisition effort is part of the broader B-2 Defensive Management System Modernization (B-2 DMS-M) initiative that underwent a revised acquisition strategy in 2016. The program aims to enhance and sustain the B-2's defensive capabilities against near-peer threats through comprehensive systems modernization.
Contract awards under this program range from small-scale technical services worth under $100,000 to major production orders exceeding $70 million, with performance periods typically spanning 2-5 years. Primary contractors include Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Raytheon, Ball Aerospace & Technologies, and Goodrich Corporation, with frequent subcontractor participation from Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Collins Aerospace. The majority of awards are issued by the Air Force Materiel Command's Aeronautical Systems Center and Air Force Sustainment Center, with work primarily performed in Palmdale, California; Boulder, Colorado; and El Segundo, California. The contracts predominantly utilize firm-fixed-price and cost-plus-fixed-fee structures, with no small business set-asides observed. Deliverables include display system production, antenna development and repair, power transmission components, software sustainment, and various engineering services supporting the modernization effort.
