At Vandy, a Reagan Bust:
As we reported Monday, there is now at Vandenberg AFB, Calif., the Ronald W. Reagan Missile Defense Site, comprising four silos, two of which house interceptor missiles as part of the nation’s ballistic missile defense umbrella and two that will serve primarily as test facilities. During a ceremony, Air Force officials also unveiled a bust of the former President, who championed efforts to introduce missile defense.
BAE Systems has received a contract from Lockheed Martin to install an upgraded Block 4 electronic warfare system into new F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, as well as to retrofit some older jets.
