Air Force Materiel Command workers at Warner-Robins Air Logistics Center, Robins AFB, Ga., have been busy, working more than 4,000 hours since July to produce 112 replacement wiring harnesses for the F-15 Eagle. Six technicians from the ALC’s 402nd Electronics Maintenance Group made the harnesses, which provide all the secondary power for all the pertinent systems on the aircraft. The new harnesses are going to save the Air Force thousands of dollars in depot maintenance, say service officials.
A new report from the Government Accountability Office calls for the Pentagon’s Chief Technology Officer to have budget certification authority over the military services’ research and development accounts—a move the services say would add a burdensome and unnecessary layer of bureaucracy.
