Air Combat Command has expanded its ability to provide the full spectrum of adversarial tactics for training scenarios, activating the 57th Information Aggressor Squadron under the 57th Adversary Tactics Group at Nellis AFB, Nev. Among the new unit’s missions will be to “identify vulnerabilities and exploit weaknesses in the command and control infrastructure of a base,” said Lt. Col. Lisa Onaga, 57th ATG deputy commander.
The Air Force on March 12 awarded contract modifications worth a combined $2.4 billion to Boeing to procure an undisclosed number of E-7 Wedgetail as part of the program's engineering and manufacturing development phase and continue work on the airborne battle management aircraft’s radar.
