B-21 Stealth Bomber

The B-21 Bomber will incorporate the latest and great electronics capabilities, including utilizing open architecture , Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) compatible systems that will allow the bomber to connect with sensors and shooters across all domains. The B-21 will not achieve initial operation capability until at least 2030. And with the number of new technologies that means that there is a lot risk of schedules slipping and costs soaring. Hopefully, we will not see Congress reduce the number of units as doing so will radically increase the unit cost and give us less plane, potentially giving us another B-2 situation.
