The Air National Guard has initiated a $7 million improvement project for the ANG facility at Joe Foss Airport in Sioux Falls, S.D., including the replacement of the 114th Fighter Wing’s squadron operations complex, the Argus Leader reports. The existing complex dates back to the 1950s. Officials expect the new building to be finished by January 2007. Work is also under way on the base’s administration building and the entrance gate, road, and entry building.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
