The U.S. Air Force plans to award a multiyear contract to the Boeing Co. in January for communications upgrades to the B-52 bomber.

The four-year, system development and demonstration (SDD) contract, estimated at about $200 million, will call for integrating new satellite communications and other enhancements into the B-52 to improve its ability to share information with other aircraft and with command centers, Air Force officials told The DAILY in recent written responses to questions.
