Air Force Reserve Command officials at Grissom ARB, Ind., broke ground last week for a new building on base to house its radar approach control activities for military and civilian aircraft. Scheduled for completion in January 2008, it will replace a 40-year-old structure located outside the base at the Grissom Aeroplex. Construction plans also include utilities, an access road, and parking. Grissom is home to AFRC’s 434th Air Refueling Wing, which flies and maintains KC-135 tankers.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth this week released strategies meant to focus the Pentagon’s “alphabet soup” of innovation organizations and proliferate artificial intelligence—moves that experts say could provide the structure needed to make the military’s efforts to integrate and field new technology more effective.
