According to Stars and Stripes, the Air Force Weather Agency has ended operation of a high-frequency radio system to collect weather data. The agency, which now considers the collection method too costly, has shuttered the last Global Weather Intercept Program operated by the 374th Communications Squadron, Yokota AB, Japan.
While the Sentinel ICBM program writ large is undergoing a major restructure due to cost and schedule overages, prime contractor Northrop Grumman is touting progress on milestones with the missile itself.
