  • The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has announced the deployment of a satellite that heralds the beginning of a new era of space-based nuclear explosion monitoring. On May 27th, the U.S. Air Force successfully launched the first I-I-F series of satellites, carrying improved nuclear detonation detection instruments built by Sandia National Labs and Los Alamos National Laboratory for the N-N-S-A. Principal Assistant Deputy Administrator Ken Baker says the deployment of the new instruments will significantly improve the agency\'s ability to detect atmospheric, or space-based, nuclear explosions and verify compliance with nuclear test ban treaties. The sensors are being integrated on to Air Force GPS satellites, thus the entire planet is monitored continuously for tell-tale signs of treaty violation.

  • In 2047, the 100th anniversary of the U.S. Air Force, there\'s a good chance that unmanned aircraft will play a bigger role than ever. Officials say the \"Unmanned Aircraft Systems Flight Plan\" recognizes that pilots on the ground still operate the U-A-Vs, as they\'re called. The advantage is that they can fly over fixed positions for long periods of time, something you can\'t do when a human being is in the plane.
