The Air National Guard formally stands up its first UAV unit, redesignating the 163rd Air Refueling Wing to the 163rd Reconnaissance Wing, at March ARB, Calif. The 163rd initially will operate MQ-1 Predators.
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.
