A comprehensive readiness review of all the combat air forces, as well as a companion training review, will be complete in time for the Corona South meeting of USAF four-stars soon after the first of the year, Gen. William Fraser, head of Air Combat Command, said Wednesday at AFA’s Air & Space Conference. Fraser told reporters that the review will help decide a range of issues including the specific structural and capability upgrades needed for legacy fighters to remain relevant and capable throughout the remainder of their service lives.
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.
