The Electronic Systems Center at Hanscom AFB, Mass., has joined other Air Force Materiel Command entities in moving to a numbered wing organization. Holding a ceremony May 11, ESC officials formally activated the 551st, 350th, 554th, and 653rd Electronic Systems Wings.
The KC-Z4, a blended wing body tanker concept being developed by startup JetZero, could fuel larger groups of aircraft at longer range to hold more targets at risk, company officials say.
