Research abstract

ZDEN Technologies LLC (ZDEN) proposes a MIL-STD-1760 enabled SUU-67/B pylon called the Zeus Pylon. The Zeus Pylon will utilize MIL-STD-1760 cabling and enable alternate methods of integrating future advanced weapons onto the B-52. With extensive experience across Global Strike CommandÆs bomber portfolio, ZDENÆs personnel will adapt the existing SUU-67/A pylon using a similar approach to the PIÆs work on a different bomberÆs rotary launcher. ZDEN will complete the work following a digital twin approach and will recommend how to apply the approach to future B-52 modification work. ZDEN will also leverage its partnerships and relationships to enable key synergies. ZDEN has the technical approach, qualified personnel, and transition capabilities necessary to successfully perform the design and modification of the SUU-67/A pylon.
