Starting today, airmen can take advantage of a new course to train instructors in the use of night vision goggles now offered at Randolph AFB, Tex. The one and a half day course transferred last year from the auspices of an Air Force Research Lab unit at Mesa, Ariz., to Air Education and Training Command and subsequently Randolph, where a team of physiologists and instructor pilots created specialized classrooms and a new curriculum. The airmen who complete this advanced course share that expertise with their assigned units.
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.
