Beale Air Force Base has been selected to host the Air Force's new Collaborative Combat Aircraft's readiness unit, focusing on semiautonomous unmanned aircraft. This move is seen as a significant milestone, aiming to provide combat power at reduced costs compared to traditional fighters. Support from local lawmakers such as Rep. Doug LaMalfa and Sen. Adam Schiff was instrumental in this decision, highlighting the importance of Beale's role in national defense and the potential for new technological advancements and investments in the region. The new mission is poised to enhance air dominance capabilities for the U.S. military.
"This is a major win for Beale AFB and a vote of confidence in the capabilities of our region... This new mission not only solidifies Beale's role in our national defense, but also brings new technology and investment to our region."
"Delivering combat power at a fraction of the cost of traditional fighters... these aircraft represent the future of the Air Force - autonomous, highly capable, and ready to deploy at a moment's notice."
