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.
The Air Force is slashing all civilian positions at its premier research institute for Chinese military aviation, prompting concern among experts who say it will dilute the service’s focus on the Pentagon’s most significant long-term adversary.
