The Air National Guard’s 143rd Airlift Wing at Quonset State Airport in Rhode Island has received its seventh new C-130J Super Hercules, according to Lockheed Martin. ANG Director Lt. Gen. Craig McKinley accepted the aircraft for the 143rd AW, which will receive its eighth and final new J Model later this year.
The computer code that runs the MQ-9 Reaper drone will be overhauled in the next two years to test revolutionary new tools that would make its software “much, much harder to hack,” the Air Force says.
