B-2 Stealth Bomber Gets Upgrade, Joins the '90s

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the decade-late dept.

WmHBlair writes "Flightglobal has a report about the upgrades being made to the B-2A Stealth Bomber, which include Pentium class processors, JOVIAL code rewritten in C, and fibre channel hard drives. The Register, as usual, makes light of this event with a tongue-in-cheek news item noting that the upgrade drags Stealth Bomber IT systems into the '90s."

    Seems there was a whole slew of Pentium processors back in the day that had issues calculating numbers.
