The Air Force has awarded a $1.7 billion contract to Lockheed Martin to provide mission qualification training and associated hardware and software for special operations forces and combat search and rescue crews. The contract falls under the Aircrew Training and Rehearsal Support II program. It’s a repeat win for Lockheed since it held the previous ATARS contract.
United Launch Alliance’s new Vulcan Centaur rocket is slated to fly its second national security mission in February—nearly six months after its first operational launch and almost a year after it was certified to fly military payloads for the Space Force.
