Abstract
The B-2 radar´s on-platform contribution to system effectiveness is described. The author provides that information which can be released about the B-2 radar, including derivation of its design requirements, description of the radar hardware and software, some of the radar´s development history and transition to production. An illustration of how early development of built-in test (BIT) can significantly improve hardware and thus enhance system effectiveness is given
