DOD’s acquisition guru Ken Krieg has wrapped up his “investment review” of the Air Force’s CSAR-X program and reportedly has left it alone, according to Dow Jones Newswires. Krieg initiated the review in February to see how the helicopter fleet fit in with existing DOD aircraft fleets. Lexington Institute’s Loren Thompson told Dow Jones that the review left USAF plans untrammeled.
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
