The Air Force Association Board of Directors has tapped Michael M. Dunn, a retired Air Force lieutenant general who last served as president of National Defense University, to become AFA president and chief executive officer, directing the professional staff and managing AFA’s daily operations. Dunn graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1972 and began his career flying F-106 fighters, transitioning to the F-15 in 1983. He held numerous command and staff positions, including Air Staff, DOD, and joint assignments. Dunn will succeed Don Peterson, who has served as the association’s top executive for five years.
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.
