A US Navy jet crashed Sunday night southwest of NAS Kingsville, Texas, the Navy announced Monday. Both pilots of the T-45C Goshawk, assigned to Training Squadron 21, ejected safely, according to a news release. The crash occurred during a routine training mission, and the cause is under investigation. The services have been hit by a number of jet mishaps in recent months. Just over a week ago, a Navy F/A-18C Hornet crashed near NAS Fallon, Nev.
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.
