The acting commander of Air Force Space Command, Lt. Gen. Frank G. Klotz, told a House Armed Services subcommittee that the establishment of the Joint Space Operations Center at Vandenberg AFB, Calif., has delivered a “new era in providing space combat effects to joint warfighters around the world.” He said that the JSpOC serves as a “one-stop shop” for all DOD space capabilities by integrating joint assets and improving US and allied combat capabilities.
The Pentagon announced a deal with Lockheed Martin on Sept. 17 to expand production of the AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile, an advanced new Air Force and Navy air-to-air missile meant to equip fifth- and sixth-generation fighters.
