U
S Air Force C-130 tactical airlifters working with US Central Command’s Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa spent two days delivering supplies to people in eastern Ethiopia left homeless by recent flooding. According to an Associated Press news service account, some 217,000 are homeless from flooding that killed at least 80 people.
The Air Force is leaning toward a less-sophisticated autonomous aircraft in the second increment of the Collaborative Combat Aircraft, the services chief futurist said. He also suggested that the next increment of CCA may be air-launched, a la the "Rapid Dragon" experiments conducted by the service in recent years.
