TSgt. Leslie D. Williams, 36, of Juneau, Alaska, has died in Afghanistan, the Defense Department announced Thursday. Williams, an airman assigned to the 4th Maintenance Group at Seymour Johnson AFB, N.C., died on Tuesday due to a non-combat-related incident at Bagram Airfield, according to DOD.
A semi-autonomous Collaborative Combat Aircraft drone shot down an air-to-air target in a Dec. 8 test supported by the U.S. Air Force, a notable milestone in the development of the loyal wingman-type drones that will join the fleets of the USAF, other American services, and allies and adversaries.
