The US Air Force Warfare Center is the new name for the Air Warfare Center at Nellis AFB, Nev., according to the Air Force. Officials say the name change more accurately captures the mission of the center to integrate space and information operations with air warfare.
Expanded production of the B-21 bomber can be accomplished at Northrop Grumman's existing Palmdale, Calif., facilities, the Air Force said. It also said test aircraft will be so simular to the production version that early examples could be used in combat if called for.
