Lockheed Martin designers are taking the wraps off four concepts they're offering to the U.S. Air Force to meet its requirements for an interim long-range strike platform to fit in between the B-2 and whatever will replace the 21 stealth bombers in the 2035 period.
Check the link for a concept model of the FB-22. The ICBM delivery system sounds like a throwback to the 1960s with a FOBS vehicle, only this time the payload would be guidable while in transit. Very cool.
