USAF suspends light attack experiment and looks to end contest early
Citat:The US Air Force suspended its light attack experiment at Hollomon AFB in New Mexico after the fatal crash of a Sierra Nevada/Embraer A-29 Super Tucano on June 22.

The USAF is examining the data collected thus far in the about a month-long second phase of the experiment to determine if it has enough information to end the contest early.

40 milijardi u 2019. za 413 novih vazduhoplova

Citat:The largest appropriation for a single aircraft type is $7.6 billion to procure 77 Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II stealth fighters; $4.2 billion to procure 48 F-35As for the US Air Force; $2.3 billion to procure 20 F-35Bs for the Marine Corps; and $1.1 billion to procure nine F-35Cs for the US Navy.

Overall, the amount appropriated for new aircraft fell 10.3% compared to the last fiscal year – a reflection of a windfall that Congress gave the Pentagon in the fiscal year 2018 budget to buy extra F-35 and F/A-18 Super Hornets and KC-46A tanker aircraft. However, defence funding in total rose 2.4% to $717 billion.

The funding act also gives Naval Air Systems Command multi-year contract authority for the F/A-18 Super Hornet, EA-18G Growler and E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft. Multi-year contract authority is a special provision granted by Congress that allows civil departments of the US government or the armed services the right to negotiate bulk discounts with vendors based on a guarantee of several years of orders.

The USN is set to order 119 warplanes, including 24 F/A-18 Super Hornets, 10 P-8A Poseidons, and eight CH-53K King Stallions.

The USAF was granted $2.4 billion to procure 15 KC-46 aerial refueling tankers. Boeing is scheduled to deliver its first of the new tankers to the service this October, more than 16 years after the aircraft was proposed as a replacement for the 1950s-era Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker.

The USAF also was authorised to spend $300 million to procure aircraft and associated long lead material for its Light Attack and Armed Reconnaissance programme. After more than a year of flight demonstrations, the service formally moved the light attack aircraft experiment into the acquisitions phase when it announced on 8 August its intention to award a production contract to Sierra Nevada Corporation or Textron Aviation in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019.

The defence funding act also authorises $144.2 million for the A-10 wing replacement programme, some $65 million more than the Trump administration’s request.

Citat:The US Navy Secretary Richard Spencer reported that in 2017 one-third of his F/A-18E/F fleet was mission capable and ready to deploy, the remaining Super Hornets were in maintenance or could only be used for training. During 2018, the situation of the 546 available Super Hornets has positively changed into one-of-two ready to deploy and mission capable aircraft. Early August it was reported that there are 241 fully mission capable Rhino's, and that number is now at 270, according to Spencer.

Defense News reported that in May 2018, the Defense Logistics Agency awarded a five-year, USD 427 million contract for Super Hornet parts and spares to begin working through a backlog of down jets. Boeing also recently inducted of the first Super Hornet into a service life extension program that will eventually see Boeing working on fourty to fifty F/A-18s per year in its facilities in St. Louis (MO), and San Antonio (TX). That programme will fix Hornets in the worst condition.
