USAF plans to move Cyber Command, being developed now within 8th Air Force, “sometime soon” into major command status, Gen. Michael Moseley, Chief of Staff, said Wednesday in testimony before the Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee. Moseley predicted a public announcement in late summer or early fall.
The computer code that runs the MQ-9 Reaper drone will be overhauled in the next two years to test revolutionary new tools that would make its software “much, much harder to hack,” the Air Force says.
