The Navy has decided to combine its European-based weather forecasters with US Air Forces in Europe weather operators at Sembach AB, Germany, in a money-saving move, reports Stars and Stripes. The sailors will work with the 21st Operational Weather Squadron to cover the US European Command region 24/7.
A combined Navy and Air Force program is seeking to build a smaller version of a ubiquitous air-to-air missile that could give advanced aircraft, such as the Collaborative Combat Aircraft, greater magazine depth in a high-end fight.
