Test squadron demonstrates Sniper pod capability
The USAF 419th Flight Test Squadron recently completed its initial developmental testing of the Sniper pod installed on a B-1B Lancer.

The pod was attached to the left hand chin of the aircraft using existing mounting points during testing. The external attach points were initially designed to allow the B-1B to carry cruise missiles externally. These hard points were modified to attach the targeting pod through a pylon assembly.
