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.”
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
