Boeing announced Monday that it has delivered the 500th Combat Track II airborne intelligence kit to the Air Force. These systems give aircrews on B-1B and B-52H bombers and C-130 and C-17 transports enhanced situational awareness and allow for faster, secure information sharing among these aircraft and ground command centers. “These systems allow aircrews to respond to threats more quickly and effectively,” said Capt. Scott Frank, USAF’s Combat Track program manager.
The Pentagon needs a Digital Command and a Digital Warfare Corps, along with other changes, to take advantage of critical new technologies, according to a think tank founded by former Google CEO and Chairman Eric Schmidt.
