The first newly upgraded operational B-1B Lancer prepares to take flight Jan. 21, 2014, at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas. The B-1B Lancer was recently upgraded with a new Integrated Battle Station. The IBS is a combination of three different upgrades, which include a Fully Integrated Data Link, a Vertical Situation Display upgrade, and a Central Integrated System upgrade. Developmental testing was conducted at Edwards AFB, Calif. and the 337th Test and Evaluation Squadron will now began operational testing at Dyess.
