The US Air Force (USAF) has told Congress it could use additional dollars for more F-35 Lightning II fighters, hypersonic weapons testing, and munitions if the funds are available in fiscal year (FY) 2023, according to the service's unfunded priority list obtained by Janes .
The service said it could use an additional USD921 million to buy seven more Lockheed Martin F-35A conventional variant fighters to add to its official request for 33 fighters.
An additional USD979 million could also be used to buy four EC-37 Compass Call aircraft, and four spare engines, to bring its total fleet size to 10. This fleet is based around the used Gulfstream G550 business jets that are then converted into electronic warfare (EW) aircraft.
Further, the service would like USD276 million to support the Small Diameter Bomb II production capability. The money would be used to reduce materiel shortages and for software development to “improve existing system capabilities and insert new capabilities”, according to the request.
