However, the Air Force has kept other price information classified, "which makes validating the proposed cost difficult," the Congressional Research Service said in a 2021 report. The Air Force plans to buy at least 100 of the planes and begin to replace B-1 and B-2 bombers. Ann Stefanek, an Air Force spokesperson said, "The B-21 Raider is in flight testing. Flight testing is a critical step in the test campaign managed by the Air Force Test Center and 412th Test Wings B-21 Combined Test Force." In early 2022, the Air Force further delayed it until 2023.

☆ SpaceX wins first Pentagon contract for Starshield, its satellite network for military use
  + stars: | 2023-09-27 | by ( Michael Sheetz | In Michaeljsheetz | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
The Pentagon has awarded Elon Musk's SpaceX its first confirmed contract for the Starshield network it's developing, a military-specific version of the company's Starlink satellite internet system, the defense agency said Wednesday. A Space Force spokesperson confirmed that SpaceX on Sept. 1 was awarded a one-year contract for Starshield with a maximum value of $70 million. SpaceX did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment on the Starshield contract. The Pentagon is already a high-value buyer of the company's rocket launches and had shown increasing interest in its Starlink satellite internet. SpaceX's award for Starshield follows its June win of a Pentagon contract to buy an undefined number of Starlink ground terminals for use in Ukraine.

☆ Fact Check-Simulation of AI drone killing its human operator was hypothetical, Air Force says
  + stars: | 2023-06-08 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
A United States Air Force (USAF) official who spoke about a simulation where an artificial intelligence (AI) drone killed its human operator later said he misspoke and that the simulation never really happened, but online posts continued to share the story after the clarification. In May, Tucker “Cinco” Hamilton, the USAF chief of AI Test and Operations, spoke at the Future Combat Air & Space Capabilities Summit hosted by the UK’s Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) in London (here). Hamilton’s comments during the summit can be read on the RAeS summary of the event (See “AI – is Skynet here already?” section) (archive.is/CKt22). The system started realising that while they did identify the threat at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. The story about a USAF official speaking about an AI-drone killing its human operator in a simulation is real, but the official has since walked back his comments and the USAF says the simulation was never conducted.

REUTERS/Carlos BarriaWASHINGTON, April 18 (Reuters) - The U.S. Air Force's 102nd Intelligence Wing, which the alleged leaker of classified information belonged to, has been ordered to halt its intelligence mission as the service's inspector general carries out an investigation, the Air Force said on Tuesday. The Air Force said all units would also have to carry out a "security-focused standdown" sometime in the next 30 days. "The 102nd Intelligence Wing is not currentlyperforming its assigned intelligence mission," Air Force Spokesperson Ann Stefanek said in statement. The Air Force inspector general would investigate the unit's "compliance with policy, procedures, and standards...related to the release of national security information," Stefanek added. If the accusations against Teixeira are correct, the Air Force will be under pressure to explain how he could have smuggled and disseminated highly classified intelligence for months without being noticed.
☆ 15 years after 'officially' retiring its first stealth jet, the US Air Force is looking for help to keep the F-117 flying for another decade
  + stars: | 2023-01-02 | by ( Michael Peck | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
The B-21 is expected to arrive 40 years after the US's first stealth aircraft, the F-117 Nighthawk. The F-117 was officially retired in 2008, but the Air Force is still putting the stealth jet to use. The US Air Force is now making plans to keep some of its Nighthawks flying until at least 2034. The Air Force currently has about 45 F-117s, more than 10 of which have been approved for transfer to museums, Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek told Insider.

Air Force Times reported Andrew Cox kept his job, despite unprofessional behavior and misconduct. Cox reportedly wore a chartreuse mankini over his clothes in the office and kept sex toys at work. "It was chartreuse green, and he brought it out into the main area," Air Force Times reported one person familiar with the matter said of Cox's revealing bathing suit, popularized by the 2006 film "Borat." "Mr. Cox remains the director of the Space Warfighting Analysis Center," Air Force Times reported Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek said Friday. Representatives for the Air Force and Space Force did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.
