Air Force Materiel Command has activated a provisional Global Logistics Support Center to standup the actual GLSC, whose job will be to “own” the Air Force’s supply chain management process. The provisional headquarters is at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, but the command hasn’t selected a permanent location. It has decided to put the GLSC command and control cell at Scott AFB, Ill., home of Air Mobility Command. Materiel Command expects to reach initial operational capability, networking current personnel and capabilities into a single organization, in 2008.
Anduril and General Atomics will develop their Collaborative Combat Aircraft for the Air Force, beating out Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman, the service announced on April 24. But any of the non-selected companies can compete to actually manufacture the eventual design, the Air Force said.
