Goldfein: USAF Won’t Use KC-46 Unless It Has To
Citat:Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein told Senate legislators March 3 the service will not use the new KC-46 tanker unless absolutely necessary to fight a powerful adversary.
The wide-ranging Senate Armed Services Committee hearing—the first of multiple chances the Air Force has this week to argue for its $169 billion budget request—continually circled back to the Pegasus tanker’s most pressing issue: its subpar remote vision system, built by Rockwell Collins. RVS is supposed to let Airmen see where the plane’s refueling boom is in relation to an aircraft it is trying to gas up. But at around 10 feet from the receiver aircraft, the RVS doesn’t focus well enough to connect, sometimes causing the operator to hit the nearby plane.

^^I kasnice.....
Citat:The USAF has suspended initial operational testing on the Boeing KC-46 until the new Remote Vision System is installed, which means 2023 at the earliest.
Orders will continue as before, but testing delay rules out possibility of approval for a multi-year buy until 2024.
