In the News: Brown: Aircraft Age and Need for New Tech Driving Need for ‘Doomsday’ Replacement
Airandspaceforces.com, May 8, 2024 - It is critical that the Air Force move forward on the replacement for its E-4B “Doomsday” aircraft to keep the capability “viable” into the next decade and beyond, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. told lawmakers May 8.
Last month, the Air Force gave the Sierra Nevada Corporation a $13.08 billion contract to build the Survivable Air Operations Center as a replacement for the E-4, officially known as the National Airborne Operations Center.
