ACC plans to upgrade its F-15E Strike Eagles with new avionics, Keys said. “We’re about out of memory and processing power” in the current system, he said. With this upgrade, called “Golden Eagle,” the youngest F-15Es in the USAF inventory can continue in service at least another 15 years.
Officials at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., said the range is “fully mission capable” to support launches following a major May 28 mishap involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket.
