The Air Force had expected to conclude its investigation into the B-52 weapons misadventure last week, but The Shreveport Times reports that it will take a while longer. Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne was at Minot AFB, N.D., last week for an update on the incident. An Air Force spokeswoman told the Times that the investigation could “continue for at least the next several weeks.”
The Department of the Air Force is consolidating more than 50 programs supporting its efforts to create a vast battle network into a single $4.5 billion contract vehicle to streamline software and technology integration.
