Side nose view of a B-1B 'Lancer' EL "Tigers" on display from the 37th Bomb Squadron, Air Combat Command (ACC) at Ellsworth AFB, Rapid City, SD. AF86-098 "Freedom One".

A pair of small vanes mounted near the nose are part of an active vibration damping system that smooths out the otherwise bumpy low-altitude ride. The Lancer's offensive avionics include the Westinghouse (now Northrop Grumman) AN/APQ-164 forward-looking offensive passive electronically scanned array radar set with electronic beam steering (and a fixed antenna pointed downward for reduced radar observability), synthetic aperture radar, ground moving target indication (GMTI), and terrain-following radar modes, Doppler navigation, radar altimeter, and an inertial navigation suite. -[wiki]
