In 1995 and 2005, Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford was in the crosshairs of the Pentagon's review of installations across the country to be closed. But each time, the 840-acre Bedford base, known for its electronic warfare systems development work, escaped from being shuttered.
Massachusetts officials, the state's congressional delegation, and executives from the private sector are waging a lobbying campaign to have the air base become the headquarters of the Air Force's new Cyber Command, unveiled last September and charged with devising tamper-proof computer networks. The provisional command is at Barksdale Air Force Base in Shreveport, La...
But giving the green light to Hanscom for the command center would go a long way toward protecting the base if another base closure commission is formed, said Quenneville and James P. Regan, vice chairman of the high technology council and chief executive of Dynamics Research Corp., an Andover-based defense contractor.
