The Orlando area certainly meets the requirements laid out by the Air Force, George Cheros, CEO of the Orlando-based National Center for Simulation, told OBJ. Those requirements include being among the 150 biggest metros areas in the U.S. and having a military base within 25 miles. 

Central Florida Research Park, which is adjacent the University of Central Florida, is already the headquarters of the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines simulation operations, so it would make sense to add the Space Force to the mix, he said.
