Air Force Space Command plans to hold the space and missile competition known as Guardian Challenge, culminating in an awards banquet on Aug. 17. Real-world deployments caused the command to cancel the Challenge last year. Peterson AFB, Colo., home to AFSPC headquarters and several space units, is host to this year’s competition. The command’s helicopter crews held their portion of the competition in May at Camp Guernsey, Wyo.
In an effort to improve connectivity aboard Air Force tanker and mobility aircraft, the Pentagon’s commercial technology innovation unit wants a system to install new applications on aircraft, such as a moving map display that helps aircrew see through the fog of war.
