Report To The Secretary Of The Air Force


Requirements For Munitions Lift

Trailers To Support Strategic Bombers



Munitions lift trailers are large support
vehicles used to transport and load air
launched cruise missiles and other nuclear
weapons onto strategic bombers. The Air
Force has identified total requirements for
245 trailers for B-52 and B-1B bombers.
About one-third of these trailers have been
acquired. The Air Force Aeronautical
Systems Command is considering remanu-
facturing 80 of the lift trailers it has ac-
quired for B-52s to incorporate recent de-
sign improvements which are expected to
make these trailers easier to operate and
less costly to support.


GAO believes Air Force requirements for
new trailers may be overstated by as many
as 39 trailers. This could result in the
unnecessary expenditure of up to $13 mil-
lion. GAO also questions the cost effec-
tiveness of remanufacturing the 80 trailers,
which would cost $20 million.
