According to North Dakota Gov. John Hoeven, the Air Force plans to station both the Global Hawk and Predator unmanned aerial vehicles at Grand Forks AFB, N.D., reports the Grand Forks Herald. Of course, that does not mean that South Dakota is out of the running for one or more of the highly popular vehicles. At least the Air Force has not yet officially identified all the locations where it plans to assign UAV units.
Anduril and General Atomics will develop their Collaborative Combat Aircraft for the Air Force, beating out Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman, the service announced on April 24. But any of the non-selected companies can compete to actually manufacture the eventual design, the Air Force said.
