The Air Force launched a new recruiting advertising campaign, called “Do Something Amazing,” during prime time Monday night. The commercials, which tie in with USAF’s new interactive Web site, showcase Air Force people performing their jobs. The videos were taken with a hand-held camera or used existing USAF footage, unlike previous glossy Hollywood-type productions. That means, according to ad agency GSD&M of Austin, Tex., that it can produce more commercials.
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.
