An Air Force accident investigation board looking into the July crash of an MQ-1 Predator unmanned aerial vehicle in Iraq has concluded that the UAV received faulty data from its manifold air pressure sensor. That led to a decrease in fuel flow to the engine, causing it to crash about 30 miles west of Balad AB, Iraq.
BAE Systems has received a contract from Lockheed Martin to install an upgraded Block 4 electronic warfare system into new F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, as well as to retrofit some older jets.
