The Air Force’s senior leadership began a “Corona Top” summit Wednesday at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. This gathering is one of the service’s tri-annual powwows of senior USAF generals from the unified combatant commands and the service’s own major commands. The uniformed leadership meets to discuss the major issues facing the service and plot future changes. The talks at Corona Top will center on ongoing operations and budgetary issues, Lt. Col. Adriane Craig, spokeswoman for Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz, tells the Daily Report. The summit runs through the end of the week.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
