What Happened
New Space Force Chief, Munitions Shortage, and Drone Procurement
The Air and Space Forces Association’s Air, Space & Cyber Conference is set to kick off on Monday, with several key issues on the agenda. The Space Force has a new chief, and the Air Force and Navy are facing a munitions shortage due to the ongoing US-Israeli war against Iran. The Air Force is also looking for a new, high-end drone platform after losing MQ-9 Reapers over the Middle East. Breaking Defense’s Aaron Mehta and Michael Marrow discuss these and other key considerations before the conference, which was first reported by Breaking Defense.
