In recent years, the USAF recognized an increased need for the design, manufacture, and supply of technologically advanced and operationally efficient Munitions Handling Units commonly called "Bomb Loaders" or "Jammers". HII is working to design a robotic arm and end effector system that upgrades present-day MHU technology rather than trying to replace the entire MHU-83 unit. This technology will increase operability and safety while decreasing aircraft turn-around time.
