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 Pentagon announced new long-term agreements with four defense companies May 13 to develop and produce large numbers of low-cost cruise missiles. And while the effort will focus mostly on the Army to start, it pairs with Air Force efforts to find more affordable munitions.
