While the world waits for the Army's full budget picture, service officials provided some details on the funding profile for Future Vertical Lift, IVAS and the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle.
The Army 'did not need to look' at its modernization accounts to fund its budget, but Strykers and Abrams see procurement cuts in the fiscal 2023 request.
"There’s a supplier base, for example, underneath the primes that we have to also be aware of," the Army's acquisition chief said of balancing cuts to older platforms with modernization.
General Electric's T901 engine is slated to replace Black Hawk and Apache engines, as well as power the Army's Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft program.
