Hanscom AFB manages the development and acquisition of electronic command and control systems.

These systems gather and analyze information of potentially hostile forces, enabling commanders to make quick decisions and rapidly pass them on to their forces.

Hanscom helps to direct the muscle of America's air-power to the right target at the right time.
