The Warner Robins Air Logistics Center at Robins AFB, Ga., will be taking on depot maintenance support for the Air Force’s other prime unmanned aerial vehicles—MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper—in addition to its work on the RQ-4 Global Hawk UAV, reports the Macon Telegraph. Air Force Materiel Command has decided to assign the work to Robins, which could boost the ALC’s workforce, according to Gene Rector of the Telegraph. Warner Robins also supports the high flying U-2 reconnaissance aircraft.
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.
