Classified programs you can\u2019t see."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WASHINGTON \u2014 The U.S. Air Force has sent a $1.9 billion wish list to lawmakers on Capitol Hill, and the biggest chunk of that money would go to classified programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It won\u2019t take long for an attentive reader to notice that the service\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2018\/02\/12\/air-force-budget-calls-for-more-planes-drones-and-a-lot-more-bombs\/\" title=\"\" class=\"selected-link\" target=\"_blank\" data-original-title=\"\" style=\"\">fiscal 2019<\/a> unfunded priority list contains none of the big-ticket items usually included in prior years\u2019 requests. For instance, there are no line items for additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, KC-46 tankers, drones or munitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, the list \u2014 just a fraction of the FY18 lineup that contained<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/budget\/2017\/06\/02\/air-forces-10-7-billion-wish-list-includes-more-f-35as-kc-46s\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\"> $10.7 billion worth of items<\/a> \u2014 concentrates its priorities among four areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Classified systems<\/li><li>Space systems<br><\/li><li>Nuclear requirements and command and control<br><\/li><li>Military construction<br><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly half of the list, $800 million total, is captured by classified requirements that were not funded as part as the service\u2019s budget request. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unsurprisingly, the Air Force provided no further details on the unclassified document obtained by Defense News about what would be included in that sum. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/smr\/federal-budget\/2018\/02\/12\/air-force-requests-1563-billion-in-fy19-plans-to-retire-b-1-b-2-fleets\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"179\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/stealth-bomber2.JPG.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">US Air Force requests $156.3 billion in FY19, plans to retire B-1, B-2 fleets<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The fiscal 2019 budget for the U.S. Air Force plans to grow the service from 55 to 58 combat squadrons over the next five years, while buying dozens of high-end aircraft.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it is possible those funds could help expedite the B-21 bomber program or go toward technologies under the service\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2016\/08\/29\/air-force-prepares-to-hash-out-future-fighter-requirements\/\" title=\"\" class=\"selected-link\" target=\"_blank\">next-generation air dominance umbrella<\/a>, a family of systems that could include the Air Force\u2019s future fighter jet. The service already increased spending for next-gen air dominance to $504 million in the FY19 request, up from $295 million in the FY18 budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force also devoted a large portion of its unfunded priorities list \u2014 about $289 million \u2014 for nuclear requirements, multidomain command and control, and NC3 (the acronym for nuclear command, control and communications). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If appropriated by lawmakers, some of that funding would be headed toward developing two of the Air Force\u2019s largest nuclear programs: Ground Based Strategic Deterrent, its next-generation intercontinental ballistic missile system; and the Long Range Standoff Weapon, an air-launched cruise missile that can be equipped with a nuclear or conventional warhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That funding would also go toward operating the E-4B Nighthawk, better known as the Doomsday plane, an airborne mobile command post for the president, defense secretary or other top U.S. officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force included $351 million for unfunded space requirements. Again, the service does not lay out exactly how the money would be split, the document states that funding would be directed toward space resiliency technologies and the development of new launch systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHigh priority\u201d military construction projects got the second-largest piece of the pie, with $441 million included for a number of unspecified efforts. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No fighters or tankers on the list this year.
