Air Force Materiel Command formally reorganizes its largest product center, the Aeronautical Systems Center at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, into wings, groups, and squadrons. AFMC will move its other entities, including Air Logistics Centers, into wing structures later in the year. (The command will start reversing these changes in 2010.)
One of General Atomics Aeronautical Systems’ prototype Collaborative Combat Aircraft drones crashed shortly after takeoff April 6, and the company has paused its test flights while it investigates the incident.
