#ICYMI Autonomous aviation benefits to the Agile Combat Employment concept were demonstrated during the Air Force exercise AGILE FLAG 24-3 at Mojave Air and Space Port, California. During AGILE FLAG, units tested their ability to generate combat air power while maneuvering and sustaining their forces in dynamic, contested environments across California and other locations in the western United States. The units used Joby and Reliable Robotics' autonomous flight technology, which allows a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan aircraft to taxi, take off, fly to a destination and land independently to deliver cargo such as aircraft parts and supplies. The aircraft can fly roughly 1,150 miles with 1,200 pounds of cargo. #autonomy #autonomousaviation #AVgeek AFWERX

🤝#NEWS More comprehensive nuclear deterrence capabilities and sustainment are on the horizon with the merging of the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center Systems Directorate and the Minuteman III Systems Directorate. The new Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Systems Directorate will be responsible for providing the most responsive nuclear deterrence capability and sustainment for Air Force Global Strike Command through two major programs, the LGM-30G Minuteman III and LGM-35A Sentinel. The reorganization is part of AFNWC’s ongoing efforts to optimize its processes to better meet the needs of the United States Air Force. It will execute over $6 billion annually for the land-based leg of the nuclear triad, which includes the modernization and sustainment of ICBMs and associated weapon system command and control, flight and launch systems, missile silos, and other ground infrastructure. #ICBM #nuclear #defense #USAF

🔥🌪️When disaster strikes, we're ready! The Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center Task Force Agile Mission Support team is gearing up to provide enhanced emergency response resources to Air and Space Force installations affected by natural disasters and other events. TFAMS is a larger and more robust emergency response task force that integrates AFIMSC capabilities including base communications, chaplain corps, civil engineering, financial management, logistics readiness, operational acquisition, security forces and services. Ready to deploy to an installation at a moment’s notice, the team will work together to create a centralized emergency response plan for long-term recovery. Representatives from each capability met for a two-day workshop in June at the AFCEC Natural Disaster Recovery Division at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida. The team conducted tabletop exercises and learned about each capability’s respective roles and how to collectively create a well-rounded response plan. #disaster #readiness

#ICYMI The United States Air Force must continue evolving into a highly integrated and lethal “one Air Force” if it is to successfully compete, deter, and win in today’s strategic environment, said Gen. David Allvin, Chief of Staff. Allvin’s assessment came during remarks at the Hudson Institute Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, that offered additional detail on the service’s efforts to reoptimize itself to meet a new era of Great Power Competition head-on. #DAFGPC #USAF #AirForce #defense

🥾This bootcamp is the gateway to a culture of innovation: Hanscom Air Force Base officials recently partnered with the Department of Defense’s National Security Innovation Network to hold a technology forecasting-focused Bootcamp session. The 4-day event leveraged the expertise of startup founders, entrepreneurs and university faculty to teach human-centered design principles and how to apply them to solve real-world challenges. The program culminated in a panel-style outbrief to senior leaders. All four teams pitched their technology forecasting proposals, which included adopting automation to increase capacity, developing a virtual assistant that acts as a force multiplier, leveraging homomorphic encryption to do secure calculations, and implementing a “checkmate” acquisition method to ensure emerging technologies and active threats are proactively considered throughout the program life cycle. #innovation #defense

Nuclear deterrence is the backbone of America’s national security. While proactive maintenance, small upgrades, and routine testing techniques allow Minuteman ICBMs to continue providing responsive nuclear deterrence, upgrading to Sentinel ICBMs ensures the land-based leg of the nuclear Triad remains safe, secure and effective. #history #Sentinel #ICBM #defense #modernization

Transformative growth was on full display at the fourth annual AFMC Continuous Improvement and Innovation Training Summit. The event brought together nearly 200 leaders, practitioners, and experts from across the United States Air Force to share insights, exchange best practices, and refine strategies for enhancing mission success through continuous improvement and #innovative thinking. This year’s theme was “The Power of Integration,” which underscored AFMC's commitment to fostering a culture where every Airman is encouraged to identify opportunities for improvement, think creatively, and develop solutions that drive the Air Force mission forward. #USAF #innovation #Ci2
