Air Force Space Command plans to redesignate one unit and inactivate several organizations today toward redefining 14th Air Force into a new component-numbered air force named 14th Air Force (Air Forces Strategic-Space). The space C-NAF element gaining a new designation is the 614th Space Operations Group, now called the 614th Air and Space Operations Center. The units being deactivated are the 614th Space Intelligence Group, 614th Space Intelligence Squadron, and 614th Space Operations Squadron. Manpower for these units switches over to the 614th AOC.
There is a new entrant in the highly competitive field of collaborative combat aircraft—semi-autonomous drones meant to fly alongside manned combat aircraft. Northrop Grumman unveiled its new Project Talon aircraft to a small group of reporters at the facilities of its subsidiary Scaled Composites.
