The U.S. Air Force wants more advanced space tech.
SAN FRANCISCO —The U.S. Air Force must change the way it does business to fight the growing threat to the nation's dominance of the final frontier, military officials say.
That long-held dominance, which helps establish U.S. supremacy on the battlefield via unmatched reconnaissance and communications capabilities, is being challenged like never before, Air Force officials stressed here last week during the first-ever Air Force Space Pitch Day.
"We certainly know we have an adversary that is attempting, in all different ways, to impact what we do," Brig. Gen. Matthew Wolfe Davidson, deputy combined force space component commander at the U.S. Space Command and vice commander of the 14th Air Force at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, said during a keynote address here on Nov. 6.
