US Senate defence appropriators are recommending a big
boost in Lockheed Martin MC-130J Commando II aerial refueller procurement in
fiscal year 2018 (FY 2018).
The Senate Appropriations Committee (SAC) is suggesting
USD1.2 billion for MC-130J procurement, USD800,000 more than the Pentagon
requested and USD200,000 more than the House and Senate authorised in their
defence authorisation conference report. This would provide for 13 aircraft –
eight more than requested and two more than potentially authorised. The defence
authorisation conference report is awaiting the president’s approval or veto.
No MC-130J breakout was listed in the House
appropriations bill that the chamber approved.
