According to Lt. Gen. Robert Elder Jr., the commander of 8th Air Force who also is charged with standing up the Air Force’s new Cyber Command, the service will create an online Global Cyberspace Innovation Center by this summer. Government Computer News reported the news from a Washington, D.C.-based event hosted by the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association’s Northern Virginia Chapter. Elder described the online center as a forum for airmen, academia, and industry to “stimulate technology development.”
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.
