> Using the Litening II system,a crew of reservists from the 93rd Bomb

> The Litening II pod provides real-time images, greatly increasing an
> aircrew's flexibility to identify targets in a continually-changing
> battlefield environment. The pod then allows the B-52 radar-navigator to
> designate the targets and direct laser-guided weapons without having to
> rely on another aircraft or person on the ground to "paint" the target
> with a separate laser designator.
