The head of the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center, Maj. Gen. Tom Owen, said that the Georgia ALC will become one of five Air Force regional contracting centers. During a ceremony at Macon State College on Oct. 5, marking the start of a collaboration to provide business students with government contracting courses, Owens said the WRALC would be gaining 385 contracting professionals. Gene Rector of The Telegraph reports that the Warner Robins activity would consolidate “base-level” contracting actions for 11 Air Force bases in the southeast. Other regional centers are slated for Colorado, Virginia, Missouri, and Texas.
Anduril and General Atomics will develop their Collaborative Combat Aircraft for the Air Force, beating out Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman, the service announced on April 24. But any of the non-selected companies can compete to actually manufacture the eventual design, the Air Force said.
