The B-1 bomber is expected to retire in the late 2020s or early 2030s but still needs to perform its missions of long-range strike, nuclear deterrence, and close air support. The USAF is upgrading the B-1’s pylons to carry more and heavier weapons, such as the JASSM-ER cruise missile and the hypersonic AGM-183A Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW).
