Boeing announced Monday that it has delivered the 500th Combat Track II airborne intelligence kit to the Air Force. These systems give aircrews on B-1B and B-52H bombers and C-130 and C-17 transports enhanced situational awareness and allow for faster, secure information sharing among these aircraft and ground command centers. “These systems allow aircrews to respond to threats more quickly and effectively,” said Capt. Scott Frank, USAF’s Combat Track program manager.
The Space Force should take bold, decisive steps—and soon—to develop the capabilities and architecture needed to support more flexible, dynamic operations in orbit and counter Chinese aggression and technological progress, according to a new report from AFA’s Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies.
