US Strategic Command gets green light from Defense Secretary Robert Gates to “immediately” establish a subordinate US Cyber Command. The new subunified command will be located at Ft. Meade, Md., the site of the National Security Agency.
The Collaborative Combat Aircraft will be operational in the late 2020s, several years before the Next-Generation Air Dominance family of systems, Air Force officials told the House Armed Services tactical aviation panel. The CCAs will first be “shooters,” then electronic warfare platforms, then sensors, in that order, they added.
