USAF Materiel Command Chief on Combating Aging Force, Impact of Budget Uncertainty
Gen. Ellen Pawlikowski, commander of the US Air Force Materiel Command, discusses steps being taken to combat an aging force — including revised aircraft inspections and additive manufacturing — and says “a continuing resolution is a challenge” for her command “across the board” during a Sept. 21, 2017, interview at the Air Force Association’s 2017 Air, Space & Cyber conference. The event was held in National Harbor, Md., just outside of Washington. The Defense & Aerospace Report’s coverage is sponsored by L3 Technologies and Leonardo DRS.
