“ The U.S government is calling upon its industry leaders to reverse engineer parts of its Air Force's B-2 Spirit stealth bomber. Details of the call to action were shared on the government's contracting website, beta.SAM.gov.
The notice was first caught and shared on Twitter by Mark Thompson, a national security analyst, who pointed out how ironic it is that the U.S. now has to reverse engineer its own parts — something he states the Chinese did when adopting U.S. technology. ”
“... it remains unclear why it's having to happen. Perhaps the original blueprints are no longer available, or the manufacturing process of these components has altered or disappeared.”
