The Air Force Global Cyberspace Integration Center at Langley AFB, Va., led the Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment 2008’s first quarter event, which ended Friday, reports Capt. Larry van der Oord. The center was looking for gaps in military capability, working from “the strategic all the way down to the tactical level,” said Brig. Gen. Mike McClendon, center commander. He said that’s a first in a machine-to-machine collaborative environment. The experiment explored 11 different initiatives, involving more than 600 participants at 17 locations.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
