Going forward, I will continue to highlight how indispensable this mission is for our national security and will urge the Department of Defense to keep the acquisition timeline on schedule.” Robins Air Force Base is home to both the 461st Air Control Wing (ACW) and 116th Air Control Wing (ACW), both of which share responsibility for the operations, maintenance and support of the E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS). Last month, Congressman Austin Scott, who is a member of the House Armed Services Committee, led a letter to Secretary of Defense Ash Carter to urge for approval of JSTARS recapitalization. The letter was supported by sixty members of Congress. In addition, he wrote an article for Breaking Defensewhich highlights the importance of JSTARS and the future of the mission. Congressman Austin Scott represents Georgia’s Eighth Congressional District in Congress, home to Robins and Moody Air Force Bases. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T20:33:33Z |
