Changing World Begets a New USAF Mission Statement:
Air Force leaders have revamped the service’s mission statement (we reported they would). Gen. Michael Moseley, Air Force Chief of Staff, and Michael Wynne, Air Force Secretary, co-signed a letter, stating that “now more than ever we need [the mission] to be clear and precise.” The new statement says USAF must “deliver sovereign options … to fly and fight in Air, Space, and Cyberspace.”
BAE Systems has received a contract from Lockheed Martin to install an upgraded Block 4 electronic warfare system into new F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, as well as to retrofit some older jets.
