Air Force fast tracks new war machines



Thanks to taking advantage of a Pentagon rapid development program called '804 Middle Tier Acquisition,' the U.S. Air Force is implementing a new strategy for weapons development that will fast-track a number of high-priority systems to war. A handful of significant weapons systems will benefit from the accelerated acquisition including satellite surveillance, hypersonic weapons, B-52 engines, nuclear missiles and combat sensors.
