A new software center slated for Robins AFB, Ga., which the Air Force declared vital but had left unfunded may come to fruition after all. The Macon Telegraph reports that the Air Force has asked Congress to let it reprogram money it won’t need after all for new dorms at Kunsan AB, South Korea. The service plans to construct a facility for software engineering labs and communications equipment that Robins would use to help develop software for new weapons systems, such as the F-22 and C-17.
Raytheon, a division of defense giant RTX, recently announced a multiyear deal with the Pentagon to increase annual production of the Air Force’s primary dogfighting missile by more than 50 percent from two years ago.
