This B-21 weapon loader training facility is part of a multiyear development beddown strategy for the B-21 programme.

The scope of the project comprises the renovation of the base’s Pride Hangar, which was initially intended to store B-36 aircraft, into advanced weapons loader training bays alongside storage for aircraft fuselage mock-ups.

The development also involves the refurbishment of administrative, training, and utilities sections at the site, which will improve the facility’s overall operation and efficiency.
