If all goes as planned, USAF will award the CSAR-X contract in early September, according to Daniel Spoor, Lockheed Martin’s CSAR-X program vice president. Speaking at a media event at Lockheed’s Center for Innovation in Suffolk, Va., on May 31, Spoor told reporters that Lockheed plans to submit its US101 aircraft proposal to the Air Force on June 19 and expects to receive a revision at the end of July. USAF’s schedule calls for the source selection process to conclude in August. The contract award process slowed earlier this year when USAF revised its guidelines, opting to ask for more capability earlier.
Unit commanders are being told to separate service members who can’t shave their cheeks and chin for medical reasons for more than a year, according to new guidance from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
