Air Force Materiel Command workers at Warner-Robins Air Logistics Center, Robins AFB, Ga., have been busy, working more than 4,000 hours since July to produce 112 replacement wiring harnesses for the F-15 Eagle. Six technicians from the ALC’s 402nd Electronics Maintenance Group made the harnesses, which provide all the secondary power for all the pertinent systems on the aircraft. The new harnesses are going to save the Air Force thousands of dollars in depot maintenance, say service officials.
A combined Navy and Air Force program is seeking to build a smaller version of a ubiquitous air-to-air missile that could give advanced aircraft, such as the Collaborative Combat Aircraft, greater magazine depth in a high-end fight.
