WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — The 950th Spectrum Warfare Group marked the activation of two new units and a change of command for an existing squadron during a ceremony Aug. 8 at the Museum of Aviation, Robins Air Force Base, Georgia.
Lt. Col. Scott Pratt took command of Detachment 1, which will transition into the 501st Electronic Warfare Squadron. The unit will provide operational and tactical assessments through data-driven models and realistic simulations to determine the most effective use of electromagnetic spectrum warfare operations.
Lt. Col. Adam Peachman assumed command of Detachment 2, which will become the 81st Electronic Warfare Squadron. That unit will expand the electronic warfare assessment program, focusing on long-range kill chain key enablers.
The event also included a change of command for the 17th Electronic Warfare Squadron, as Lt. Col. Peter Johnson took over from Lt. Col. Ryan Cox.
“Our efforts provide senior Air Force leaders, warfighters and acquisition programs with the actionable data they need to make vital decisions – from the equipment needed to build a ready force to tactical decisions made in the cockpit,” said Col. Michael Middents, 950th Spectrum Warfare Group commander.
The 950th Spectrum Warfare Group, activated Aug. 1, 2024, evaluates Air Force electromagnetic spectrum capabilities from individual aircraft components to large force integration. The group’s assessments help commanders confirm operational readiness, identify areas for tactical improvement, and inform future equipment acquisitions.
