Air Force Global Strike Command boss Lt. Gen. Stephen Wilson said 8th Air Force has wrapped up its Force Improvement Program and he expects to get briefed from the teams on Sept. 19. “What we found is that many of the same things in the ICBM program carried over to the bomber [career fields],” Wilson told reporters Tuesday at AFA’s Air & Space Conference in National Harbor, Md. The Air Force has steadily been working its way through the nearly 350 recommendations to come from the 20th Air Force FIP and Wilson said he expects a similar list to come from this review. Although he couldn’t elaborate on the details quite yet, he said he expects to “roll out things in early November.” He added, “This is a new way of doing business.”
The Space Force is playing midwife to a new ecosystem of commercial satellite constellations providing alternatives to the service’s own Global Positioning Service from much closer to the Earth, making their signals more accurate and harder to jam.
