РВ САД планира да пренамени стратегијски бомбардер B-1 Lancer у ловца-пресретача, на средњим и великим даљинама
Модификација овог апарата би носила ознаку B-1R (слово R означава регионални)а његова основна функција би била борба против ваздушних циљева на великим даљинама.
Према замислима конструктора, модификација би подразумевала интеграцију адекватног радара (фазна решетка) који би био компатибилан са ракетама В-В великог домета, као и нове моторе Pratt & Whitney F119.
Пројектована брзина овако конципираног авиона би износила негде око 2.700 км/ч, док би оперативни долет за разлику од базичне варијанте био мањи за 20%.

'Bone' out of the fight... for now Citat:The US Air Force has announced the withdrawal of B-1B Lancers from US Central Command operations as a temporary measure to allow the fleet some respite and for it to embrace new modifications. The B-1 has been a significant feature for the CENTCOM AOR (Area Of Responsibility) for the last 15 years.

Izgleda da ipak vracaju u zivot projekat B-1C, onaj ludi B-1 naoruzan sa gomilom AIM-120 ? Mada sada razmatraju i B-52.
Citat:Aviation Week: Arsenal plane could be B-1, B-52 or both aircraft
A source that is familiar with the arsenal plane concept proposed by the Pentagon told Aviation Week that two platforms being considered are the B-1 and B-52.
“It’s still conceptual and no program has been established. It’s indicative of the kinds of things they are thinking about that could give them an advantage in precision strike. It could end up being both bombers,” the source was quoted as saying.
Citat:The new U.S. defense budget to be published Feb. 9 will include initial development of an “arsenal plane” that would operate in conjunction with Lockheed Martin F-22s and F-35s and “act as a very large magazine,” according to Defense Secretary
B-1 naoružan sa gomilom AIM-120 i još ako mu je to prioritetno naoružanje i namjena...!?
Ovo više spada u onu temu o vojsci i logici, iako znamo da i netko drugi van vojske smišlja ovakve 'vreća bez dna' projekte.
Da se ispravim nije B-1C nego B-1R. Tada su planirani motori F-119 sa F-22, brzina preko 2 maha i AESA radar i gomila raketa u trupu i podkrilno. Naravno i dalje bi nosio i vodjene bombe i rakete.

USAF flaunts ‘arsenal plane’ concept at Air Warfare Symposium
Citat:The project is funded in the Pentagon’s “advanced innovative technologies” budget under a new, mostly-classified programme labelled “alternative strike”. Almost $200 million has been dedicated to the project in fiscal year 2017, and flight demonstrations would start in late 2017 or 2018 and run through 2020.
Citat:In 2004, Boeing proposed a similar arsenal plane concept known as the B-1R – which stands for “regional” bomber.
According to a source, that concept would have greatly boosted the B-1B’s weapons capacity and installed an active electronically scanned array radar (AESA) to “attack multiple targets simultaneously in a jammed environment”. The aircraft’s engines would have been upgraded from the General Electric F101 to Pratt & Whitney F119 to achieve speeds of Mach 2.
