Stopping at Andersen AFB, Guam, on his tour of USAF bases in the Pacific Region, Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne noted big changes to come for the Pacific island facility, mentioning the planned addition of Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicles and adding that aerial refuelers might be in the picture, as well. He said that the Air Force envisions a future for Andersen that would include “possibly a permanent tanker squadron.”
The Space Force expects to award $905 million in contracts over the next five years through a new Maneuverable GEO program, which aims to form a commercial fleet of mobile communication satellites in geosynchronous orbit.
