The Russian Air Force has in the works an upgraded A-50 airborne warning and control system aircraft and expects to take delivery in 2008, Gen. Vladimir Mikhailov announced to Russian news agencies Thursday. He said the revamped aircraft would contain new equipment that would sustain the A-50 through another 20 years.
The Space Force is playing midwife to a new ecosystem of commercial satellite constellations providing alternatives to the service’s own Global Positioning Service from much closer to the Earth, making their signals more accurate and harder to jam.
