A new pod-based comms system for the KC-46, enabling it to serve as a 'translator' for the incompatible radio systems of the F-22 and F-35, will be fielded in the last quarter of fiscal 2022.
Northrop Grumman is employing this new derivative of DevOps to ensure that the B-21’s mission-critical functions are baked in long before the bomber’s first flight.
"One of the requirements is going to be that all data developed and produced by every weapon system we have has to be made accessible, period," Gen. John Hyten said today.

WASHINGTON: Space Force chief Gen. Jay Raymond today revealed a previously classified program to develop radar satellites capable of tracking moving ground targets a harbinger of the service’s nascent plan to take on the job of procuring space-based ISR for the other services.
Raymond told the annual McAleese conference that Space Force is “building GMTI [Ground Moving Target Indicator] from space” as part of its ISR push, saying that program is representative of the fact that the service is “actively working to be able to provide that capability.”
Public disclosure of the program’s existence “is a recent example of the concerted effort to declassify information regarding space capabilities in support of greater transparency in the space domain,” Col. Catie Hague, Space Force spokesperson, told us in an email.
