SMi Group reports: A senior representative and newly confirmed speaker from the USAF 319th Reconnaissance Wing will speak at the UAV Technology conference in London this September.
- (1888PressRelease) July 16, 2021 - Earlier this year, the US Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Brown Jr. made a visit to the 319th Reconnaissance Wing (RW), headquartered at Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota, with two of the state's federal delegates.
The 319th RW is responsible for the infrastructure and operational support to the 69th Reconnaissance Group’s RQ-4 Global Hawk mission.
After the meeting, the two senators outlined their efforts to support the base’s operation and grow its mission, including:
• Maintaining Grand Forks Air Force Base as the lead for all US Air Force Global Hawk operations.
• Positioning the 319th RW at the base to lead future Air Force intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
• The Air Force has committed to keep Grand Forks and its 319th RW at the core of its ISR efforts.
• Upgrading the Global Hawk to support the widest possible set of missions, including improving its ability to reroute around adverse weather.
