Has Moseley Launched a Peace Offensive?: Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell on Monday renewed his promise to keep the A-10s of the Pennsylvania ANG’s 111th Fighter Wing at their NAS Willow Grove home. Rendell is putting a lot of stock in US Dist. Judge John Padova’s decision that the Pentagon does not have the right to remove the fighters without Rendell’s consent. (See DR, 8/29/05.) Rendell has ordered his adjutant general not to allow the aircraft to be removed. The Pentagon has the next move, but there’s no certainty that DOD is in any rush.
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.
