The new mayor-elect of Warner Robins, Ga., Chuck Shaheen, said one of his first tasks will be to get the Georgia Robins Aerospace Maintenance Partnership, known as G-RAMP, moving in 2010. A central focus of G-RAMP is ensuring a sound future for the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center at Robins AFB, Ga. According to a Dec. 3 TV13 report, Shaheen, who believes his community must take the lead and should engage other area communities, said, “I want to work with General Peyer [Maj. Gen. Polly Peyer] and make sure they understand our city is going to do whatever it can to continue to help Robins Air Force Base.”
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.
