Department of the Air Force fiscal year

01:07.122 --> 01:09.480
2022 budget requests

01:09.480 --> 01:13.400
$173.7 billion to accommodate the

01:13.400 --> 01:15.511
Department of the Air Force's ability

01:15.511 --> 01:17.960
to operate jointly across all domains

01:18.340 --> 01:20.396
the development of the United States

01:20.396 --> 01:22.970
Space Force , the recapitalized

01:22.980 --> 01:25.147
elements of the nuclear enterprise and

01:25.147 --> 01:26.758
to accelerate weapons system

01:26.758 --> 01:30.040
modernization . The focus is not only

01:30.040 --> 01:32.640
on the capabilities needed today but

01:32.640 --> 01:34.660
also those required for future

01:34.660 --> 01:37.950
competition , necessary risk is taken

01:37.950 --> 01:39.860
in legacy missions to enable the

Force budget along with the

01:55.710 --> 01:57.654
appropriation details . Next slide

01:57.654 --> 02:01.290
please , without the

Department of the Air Force is

02:03.012 --> 02:05.179
unprecedented . Control of the Air and

02:05.179 --> 02:07.310
space domains . No other U . S .

02:07.310 --> 02:09.770
Military mission can enjoy full freedom

02:09.770 --> 02:12.680
of maneuver . The Air and Space Force

02:12.680 --> 02:14.624
have the unique ability to project

02:14.624 --> 02:17.390
power from afar independent of forward

02:17.390 --> 02:19.600
access and lengthy prepositioning

02:19.600 --> 02:22.490
timelines . The strategic environment

02:22.500 --> 02:24.910
is rapidly shifting as a result of

02:24.910 --> 02:27.040
global health and climate crisis ,

02:27.100 --> 02:29.620
declining resources and rapid

02:29.620 --> 02:32.200
technology development . China and

02:32.200 --> 02:35.690
Russia continued to be aggressive in

02:35.690 --> 02:38.230
their efforts to negate long enduring

02:38.240 --> 02:40.720
US were fighting advantages while

02:40.720 --> 02:42.942
challenging the United States interests

02:42.942 --> 02:45.100
in geopolitical position . The

02:45.100 --> 02:47.211
Department of the Air Force has to be

02:47.211 --> 02:49.044
ready to deter our competitors .

Attempt to hold the US homeland at risk

02:51.360 --> 02:54.160
with unconventional , conventional and

02:54.160 --> 02:56.690
even nuclear forces amidst an

02:56.690 --> 02:58.190
environment of exponential

02:58.190 --> 03:00.270
technological advancement . The

03:00.270 --> 03:02.103
Department of the Air Force must

03:02.103 --> 03:04.326
continue to adapt and move with purpose

03:04.326 --> 03:07.320
now to win tomorrow . The foundation of

23:38.604 --> 23:40.920
appropriation accounts now were turned

23:40.920 --> 23:43.090
to the direct war and enduring costs .

23:43.140 --> 23:44.450
Next slide , please .

23:47.140 --> 23:49.280
This slide highlights direct war and

23:49.280 --> 23:51.280
enduring costs while direct warning

23:51.280 --> 23:53.558
during costs are now in the department ,

23:53.558 --> 23:55.502
the Air Force baseline budget . We

23:55.502 --> 23:57.558
separated the requirement for better

23:57.558 --> 23:59.502
visibility . The first category is

23:59.502 --> 24:01.447
direct war , which includes direct

24:01.447 --> 24:03.558
combat support costs , which will not

24:03.558 --> 24:05.950
continue when combat operations end .

24:06.440 --> 24:09.000
The second category is enduring costs

24:09.050 --> 24:11.030
which include requirements for in

24:11.030 --> 24:13.370
theatre and in Conus . Activities

24:13.380 --> 24:15.790
likely to continue after combat

24:15.790 --> 24:18.260
operations cease in total . The

24:18.260 --> 24:20.960
Department of Of the Air Force's

24:20.960 --> 24:24.620

25:49.410 --> 25:51.820
commanders Most urgent requirements .

25:52.240 --> 25:54.407
Let me close with a few final thoughts

25:54.407 --> 25:56.518
before opening up to your questions .

25:56.518 --> 25:59.900
Thanks . Hi , please . Air and space

25:59.900 --> 26:02.770
dominance is not guaranteed . We must

26:02.770 --> 26:04.881
be postured to fight and win in these

26:04.881 --> 26:07.048
domains without control of the air and

26:07.048 --> 26:09.480
space . No military mission can enjoy

26:09.480 --> 26:11.730
full freedom of maneuver . The

26:11.730 --> 26:13.619
Department of the Air Force faces

26:13.619 --> 26:15.619
increasing budget pressure based on

26:15.619 --> 26:18.090
growing costs of sustainment for

26:18.090 --> 26:20.257
current and aging , forest structure ,

26:20.940 --> 26:23.760
continuous combat operations and long

26:23.760 --> 26:26.190
deferred modernization , continued

26:26.190 --> 26:28.410
prioritization is necessary in the

26:28.410 --> 26:31.060
context of key competitions over time

26:31.940 --> 26:34.162
decision and trade offs are framed with

26:34.162 --> 26:36.384
both near and long term view of what is

26:36.384 --> 26:38.551
needed to ensure the Department of the

26:38.551 --> 26:40.551
Air Force is prepared to answer our

26:40.551 --> 26:42.773
nation's call both today and tomorrow .

26:43.340 --> 26:45.760
It is essential to right size aging ,

26:45.760 --> 26:48.820
costly and less than capable legacy

26:48.820 --> 26:51.750
systems so we can deliver and direct

26:51.750 --> 26:54.300
resources for the capabilities needed

26:54.300 --> 26:57.010
for future competition . This budget

26:57.010 --> 26:59.090
takes action to empower airmen and

26:59.090 --> 27:02.070
guardians modernize , connect the joint

27:02.070 --> 27:04.540
force and expand partnerships to

27:04.540 --> 27:06.762
achieve success and secure the nation's

27:06.762 --> 27:08.660
future . We asked for continued

27:08.660 --> 27:10.716
partnership in support with Congress

27:10.716 --> 27:12.730
and stakeholders to make required

27:12.730 --> 27:14.786
changes to build a Department of the

27:14.786 --> 27:16.730
Air Force designed to act with the

27:16.730 --> 27:19.150
speed and decisiveness necessary for

27:19.150 --> 27:21.320
continued dominance in the air and

27:21.320 --> 27:24.410
space domains . Thank you for very much .

27:24.420 --> 27:26.476
We're happy to take your questions .

27:30.040 --> 27:32.040
Thank you , sir . All right , we'll

27:32.040 --> 27:33.929
open it up to questions , brian ,

27:34.440 --> 27:36.496
thanks thanks for doing this . I was

27:36.496 --> 27:38.810
hoping to talk about the divestments on

27:38.810 --> 27:40.921
the tankers . Can you talk about what

27:40.921 --> 27:43.032
is the schedule for these ? Will they

27:43.032 --> 27:45.920
be retired as KC 46 has come online or

27:45.920 --> 27:48.150
the divestments kind of front loaded as

27:48.150 --> 27:50.580
the deliveries are coming . So the KC

27:50.580 --> 27:52.691
46 is are being delivered as you know

27:52.691 --> 27:54.940
already uh and we'll be continuing to

27:54.940 --> 27:57.000
deliver . Part of it is to clear the

27:57.000 --> 28:00.700
way for ramp space for the Casey for

28:00.700 --> 28:03.110
the Sixes to come in . Part of it is to

28:03.110 --> 28:05.460
use the manpower that is already in the

28:05.460 --> 28:08.790
KC 1 35 and K C 10 programs and

28:08.790 --> 28:10.901
transfer that over so we can get them

28:10.901 --> 28:13.630
trained and ready to go . So , so part

28:13.630 --> 28:15.880
of it is really to clear the way into

28:15.880 --> 28:17.936
lead us or to give us some space for

28:17.936 --> 28:20.410
the KC 46 is to come in and so within

28:20.410 --> 28:22.577
this budget for the for example the KC

28:22.577 --> 28:26.280
1 35 were requesting a divestment of 18

28:26.290 --> 28:28.900
and for KC tens it'll be 10 I'm sorry ,

28:28.900 --> 28:32.430
14 and on the A10s are these 42 gonna

28:32.430 --> 28:34.541
come from basically a couple of units

28:34.740 --> 28:37.880
and will there be a mission backfill if

28:37.890 --> 28:40.660
that is the case ? So yes that is the

28:40.660 --> 28:44.050
current plan . He absolutely steve

28:44.610 --> 28:46.832
aviation week on the B 21 . I think you

28:46.832 --> 28:49.054
said that there's money in there to buy

28:49.054 --> 28:51.550
to be 21 test aircraft . Is that the

28:51.550 --> 28:53.730
advanced procurement money for $100

28:53.730 --> 28:56.180
million ? No . No . So that's so the

28:56.180 --> 28:59.170
development money will be used for the

28:59.240 --> 29:01.184
to build the test aircraft because

29:01.184 --> 29:03.296
we've already got two on the lines of

29:03.296 --> 29:05.407
this four test aircraft total total .

29:05.530 --> 29:07.474
There's already too on the line in

29:07.474 --> 29:09.530
Palmdale it's the two . it's already

29:09.530 --> 29:12.950
teeny for those two . Right and oh they

29:12.950 --> 29:15.061
weren't in previous budgets , they're

29:15.061 --> 29:17.006
being built so they're part of the

29:17.006 --> 29:19.228
budget . That's what we're saying . But

29:19.228 --> 29:21.339
that advanced procurement is that for

29:21.339 --> 29:23.561
one or two aircraft ? We can't disclose

29:23.561 --> 29:25.270
the number of aircraft but

29:27.240 --> 29:30.780
Rachel . Um So the Air Force has said

29:30.780 --> 29:32.730
that you know , in part due to the

29:32.740 --> 29:34.629
pandemic , you've had record high

29:34.629 --> 29:36.851
retention um and I'm wondering how that

29:36.851 --> 29:39.073
affected your and strength numbers ? Um

29:39.073 --> 29:42.840
you know , it's it's up 3600 ish .

29:42.850 --> 29:45.680
A bunch of that is medical people , you

29:45.680 --> 29:47.791
know , did you say , you know , let's

29:47.791 --> 29:49.958
just keep it level this year . You say

29:49.958 --> 29:52.069
let's only add a little bit . How did

29:52.069 --> 29:54.140
that affect things ? So definitely

29:54.140 --> 29:56.307
you're right . I mean the pandemic has

29:56.307 --> 29:58.640
slowed . What we would see in terms of

29:58.650 --> 30:00.872
people leaving the Air Force and people

30:00.872 --> 30:02.983
have stayed in to your point is up to

30:02.983 --> 30:06.970
3000 people in fy 21 . And so when we

30:06.970 --> 30:09.192
looked out into the future , I wouldn't

30:09.192 --> 30:11.960
say that played a part into our future

30:11.960 --> 30:14.182
and strength or future and strength was

30:14.182 --> 30:16.404
really , or the growth was really based

30:16.404 --> 30:18.516
on putting the medical personnel back

30:18.516 --> 30:20.349
in . We've been paying for those

30:20.349 --> 30:22.516
medical personnel because they haven't

30:22.516 --> 30:24.627
actually left Since FY 20 . But we've

30:24.627 --> 30:26.571
been paying for him in the year of

30:26.571 --> 30:28.627
execution This year . We've actually

30:28.627 --> 30:30.682
added the end strength back with the

30:30.682 --> 30:32.738
dollars and that will most likely be

30:32.738 --> 30:34.910
temporary . We'll see where we go with

30:34.910 --> 30:37.650
that within the next year or so . But

30:37.660 --> 30:40.140
if that program takes off and we do

30:40.150 --> 30:41.983
reduce those medical personnel ,

30:41.983 --> 30:43.983
they'll come out in the future most

30:43.983 --> 30:46.039
likely in 23 . Okay . But outside of

30:46.039 --> 30:48.206
the medical people um it didn't really

30:48.206 --> 30:49.928
have an effect on , you know ,

30:49.928 --> 30:52.150
everything else you need to know . Um ,

30:52.150 --> 30:54.280
and for the flying our program , you

30:54.280 --> 30:56.391
know , flying hours are down by about

30:56.391 --> 30:58.502
87,000 . Um can you talk about what's

30:58.502 --> 31:00.613
behind that and how that might affect

31:00.613 --> 31:02.724
training in opposite . So a couple of

31:02.724 --> 31:05.480
things , I think number one is the

31:05.480 --> 31:07.480
change in global posture overseas .

31:07.480 --> 31:10.100
Right ? That reduced 66,000 of that was

31:10.110 --> 31:12.580
87,000 hours that you mentioned . The

31:12.580 --> 31:15.460
other 22,000 hours were really risk

31:15.460 --> 31:17.860
that we could take on peacetime .

31:17.860 --> 31:20.130
Flying what we've done over the last

31:20.130 --> 31:22.352
several years is we've built our flying

31:22.352 --> 31:24.408
our program to match what we believe

31:24.408 --> 31:26.408
are requirement is , but we haven't

31:26.408 --> 31:28.630
been able to execute that full amount .

31:28.640 --> 31:31.580
So in fy 21 we reduce the flying hours

31:31.590 --> 31:33.720
to actually execute more in line with

31:33.720 --> 31:35.609
what we can do in , in each given

31:35.609 --> 31:37.980
fiscal year . In fy 22 we've done the

31:37.980 --> 31:39.869
same thing but we've taken just a

31:39.869 --> 31:41.813
little bit more risk in the flying

31:41.813 --> 31:43.869
hours and lowered it by about 22,000

31:43.869 --> 31:46.390
hours for peacetime missions . Okay ,

31:46.390 --> 31:49.700
Valerie . Hi . Um so I wanted to ask

31:49.700 --> 31:52.210
about the combat rescue helicopter um

31:52.210 --> 31:54.310
and FY21 , the plan was to buy 20 of

31:54.310 --> 31:56.590
those and so you know , today you guys

31:56.590 --> 32:00.350
are only buying 14 , 14 and 22 . Um

32:00.360 --> 32:02.527
what is the reason for that ? Is there

32:02.527 --> 32:04.638
any issues in terms of development or

32:04.638 --> 32:07.080
production ? So no issues . I think the

32:07.080 --> 32:10.350
enactment for FY21 was 19 I believe .

32:10.740 --> 32:13.720
And then that was three more than we

32:13.720 --> 32:15.840
had planned . Um It was put in Rokko

32:15.840 --> 32:19.840
program and so in Fy 22 we had

32:19.840 --> 32:23.080
reduced the quantity by down to 14

32:23.090 --> 32:25.257
because we had bought three additional

32:25.257 --> 32:28.280
in Fy 21 . We had hoped to buy a couple

32:28.280 --> 32:30.391
more with OKo this year , but because

32:30.391 --> 32:32.447
of the changes and contingencies and

32:32.447 --> 32:34.660
our posture down range , there's less

32:34.660 --> 32:36.882
funding in OKo . And so we weren't able

32:36.882 --> 32:38.549
to add more back in but we're

32:38.549 --> 32:40.549
absolutely committed to the program

32:40.549 --> 32:42.549
will continue to buy the program of

32:42.549 --> 32:44.660
record out and so there are no issues

32:44.660 --> 32:46.716
with the helicopter . Okay . And for

32:46.716 --> 32:48.827
the Carlos , anything you like that ?

32:48.827 --> 32:50.993
That's correct . There's the fact that

32:50.993 --> 32:53.160
we're buying 14 . It does not have any

32:53.160 --> 32:55.216
bearing on the status of the program

32:55.690 --> 32:58.360
with the F sixteens . Can you talk a

32:58.360 --> 33:00.416
little bit about why those are being

33:00.416 --> 33:02.749
divested this year with the F fifteen's ?

33:02.749 --> 33:04.638
We've heard quite a lot about the

33:04.638 --> 33:06.860
structural issues , there haven't heard

33:06.860 --> 33:08.916
so much about F sixteen's , why they

33:08.916 --> 33:11.138
should go immediately . Yeah , so these

33:11.138 --> 33:13.304
are we have well over 900 F 16 , The F

33:13.304 --> 33:15.527
sixteen's that we're talking about here

33:15.527 --> 33:17.638
are pre block F sixteen's . These are

33:17.638 --> 33:19.527
not aircraft that will be able to

33:19.527 --> 33:21.360
modernize and be able to use and

33:21.360 --> 33:24.000
heavily contested environment in the 23

33:24.010 --> 33:26.280
30 time frame . So that's why we're

33:26.280 --> 33:28.980
divesting these upfront and it's really

33:28.980 --> 33:30.924
to put a little bit of risk in the

33:30.924 --> 33:32.940
fighter for us where we can to then

33:32.940 --> 33:35.970
reapply those dollars for modernized

33:35.970 --> 33:39.390
programs such as and God Uh that will

33:39.390 --> 33:41.620
really be applicable in the 20s 30s and

33:41.620 --> 33:45.240
2040 timeframe . Thank you . Thank

33:45.240 --> 33:48.520
you . Irwin with Space news , I have a

33:48.520 --> 33:50.900
question about the Space Force funding .

33:50.910 --> 33:53.230
The Space Force got a significant

33:53.230 --> 33:57.130
increase and with Dogg constrained by a

33:57.140 --> 33:59.520
flat budget , how were you able to

33:59.530 --> 34:01.474
allocate more funding to the Space

34:01.474 --> 34:03.641
Force ? Was money taken from Air Force

34:03.641 --> 34:06.410
programs from other services programs ?

34:06.410 --> 34:09.700
How did you come up with that amount to

34:09.700 --> 34:11.700
be able to increase the Space Force

34:11.700 --> 34:13.940
fund ? Right . So , great question .

34:13.970 --> 34:16.081
Long answer . I don't know if I'll be

34:16.081 --> 34:18.137
able to get to all of it , but we'll

34:18.137 --> 34:20.359
get you a better answer so you can have

34:20.359 --> 34:22.581
the details . But the bottom line is so

34:22.581 --> 34:24.637
there's a $2 billion increase within

34:24.637 --> 34:26.581
the space for us . Half of that is

34:26.581 --> 34:28.581
related to transfers into the Space

34:28.581 --> 34:31.960
Force from Air Force , from Army and

34:31.960 --> 34:33.960
from Navy . I can give you a couple

34:33.960 --> 34:37.620
examples . So the Wideband Enterprise

34:37.620 --> 34:39.880
dot com came from the Army that

34:39.880 --> 34:41.936
transferred into the Air Force . The

34:41.936 --> 34:44.330
mules program came from the Navy that

34:44.340 --> 34:46.507
are into the Space Force came from the

34:46.507 --> 34:48.729
Navy transferred into the Space Force .

34:48.729 --> 34:51.070
A large chunk of that money that you

34:51.070 --> 34:53.460
see is facility statement rest your

34:53.460 --> 34:55.571
ization of modernization and facility

34:55.571 --> 34:58.110
operations . That was in the Air Force

34:58.120 --> 35:01.100
O . And M . Line . And we had Um , we

35:01.100 --> 35:03.700
had used Air Force dollars to support

35:03.710 --> 35:07.480
space force locations . In 21 . In 22

35:07.480 --> 35:09.480
we transferred those dollars to the

35:09.480 --> 35:11.480
space force . So those are a couple

35:11.480 --> 35:13.647
examples . There's a long list that we

35:13.647 --> 35:15.647
have here that we're happy to share

35:15.647 --> 35:17.710
with you the O . And M . Funding .

35:17.710 --> 35:19.821
That's where most of the increases in

35:19.821 --> 35:21.932
the minimum account . Such because of

35:21.932 --> 35:23.988
these facilities upgrades . I mean ,

35:23.988 --> 35:26.099
it's , I'm just not clear why is that

35:26.099 --> 35:28.210
an O . And M . And not in not in milk

35:28.210 --> 35:30.099
on . So these are restoration and

35:30.099 --> 35:32.266
modernization programs that don't meet

35:32.266 --> 35:34.488
a military construction threshold . For

35:34.488 --> 35:36.710
example , building something happens to

35:36.710 --> 35:38.710
a building you need to renovate the

35:38.710 --> 35:38.560
building , fix the building . That's

35:38.560 --> 35:40.671
what the restoration of modernization

35:40.671 --> 35:42.782
funds pay for versus milk on which is

35:42.782 --> 35:45.220
new construction . And so that again

35:45.230 --> 35:47.440
had been in the Air Force line last

35:47.440 --> 35:49.440
year and it was time to transfer it

35:49.440 --> 35:51.551
over to the Space Force . And then on

35:51.551 --> 35:54.610
top of that there about the chart

35:54.620 --> 35:57.910
showed um , uh , a lot of the plus ups

35:57.910 --> 36:00.160
in the unclassified programs , but

36:00.160 --> 36:02.060
there are well over $800 million

36:02.060 --> 36:04.490
dollars in classified programs that

36:04.490 --> 36:06.810
went to the space for us this year for

36:06.810 --> 36:08.866
new programs . But we can talk about

36:08.866 --> 36:11.550
those . Thank you . And now we'll go to

36:11.550 --> 36:14.750
the call in line Kourtney Aldan Inside

36:14.750 --> 36:17.280
Defense . Hi . Yeah , I first wanted to

36:17.280 --> 36:20.010
ask about the MQ nine um , production

36:20.010 --> 36:22.177
line . I didn't see that referenced in

36:22.177 --> 36:24.399
the overview book and I wondered if you

36:24.399 --> 36:26.621
could tell us if you are planning to to

36:26.621 --> 36:28.454
again look to , to shut down the

36:28.454 --> 36:30.621
production line there and then related

36:30.621 --> 36:32.732
to that , um , if there's funding for

36:32.732 --> 36:35.350
MT next in this year's budget . Um , so

36:35.360 --> 36:37.710
first question , is there money to shut

36:37.710 --> 36:39.821
down the procurement line for MQ nine

36:39.821 --> 36:41.988
and the 22 budget ? The answer is no ,

36:41.988 --> 36:44.450
there is not , uh , when we were not

36:44.450 --> 36:47.260
procuring anymore , MQ nine in fy 22

36:47.260 --> 36:49.482
but we're also not looking to shut down

36:49.482 --> 36:51.704
the production line . In fact , we have

36:51.704 --> 36:53.871
modernization efforts that are tied to

36:53.871 --> 36:56.093
the MQ nine in the 22 budget . In terms

36:56.093 --> 36:58.510
of MQ Next , I think I would probably

36:58.510 --> 37:01.250
back it up a little bit and talk is our

37:01.930 --> 37:05.480
as we look for the future for is

37:05.480 --> 37:09.280
are we need to build Survivable is our

37:09.290 --> 37:11.123
in our platform . So what we are

37:11.123 --> 37:12.957
looking at is really a family of

37:12.957 --> 37:16.100
interconnected systems that we will use

37:16.100 --> 37:18.044
in the future that could come from

37:18.044 --> 37:20.156
space . It could come from aircraft ,

37:20.156 --> 37:22.489
it could come from nontraditional means .

37:22.489 --> 37:24.711
And so that's really the approach as we

37:24.711 --> 37:26.767
move forward . But we're not looking

37:26.767 --> 37:28.600
specifically at a platform for a

37:28.600 --> 37:30.880
platform replacement . Rather , we're

37:30.880 --> 37:33.047
looking at technology that's available

37:33.047 --> 37:35.770
today To build a survivable is our

37:35.770 --> 37:38.560
platform as we move forward to the 2030

37:38.560 --> 37:40.616
time period Carlos . Did you want to

37:40.616 --> 37:44.250
know other than uh , for MQ nine ? We

37:44.250 --> 37:46.380
also have in the budget as general

37:46.380 --> 37:48.547
pasha mentioned some investments about

37:48.547 --> 37:52.230
$200 million which continues to modify

37:52.230 --> 37:54.980
the aircraft so that they are

37:54.990 --> 37:58.540
uh , upgraded to provide the

37:58.540 --> 38:01.510
capability that we need today . Right .

38:01.520 --> 38:03.742
And the other thing , I guess in the MQ

38:03.742 --> 38:05.853
nines is , you know , a lot of people

38:05.853 --> 38:07.964
are talking about the replacement for

38:07.964 --> 38:10.131
the MQ nine . MQ nine is gonna be with

38:10.131 --> 38:12.242
us for a long time , at least another

38:12.242 --> 38:14.187
15 years , perhaps longer . And so

38:14.187 --> 38:16.353
we're not looking to get rid of the MQ

38:16.353 --> 38:18.576
nine by any means that and we certainly

38:18.576 --> 38:20.687
have a lot of time to figure out what

38:20.687 --> 38:22.909
we will do next in terms of I . S . R .

38:22.909 --> 38:25.020
Okay , next to Magnuson with National

38:25.020 --> 38:26.020
Defense

38:31.120 --> 38:34.860
stew are you on ? Yes , I was looking

38:34.860 --> 38:38.180
for the MH139 Grey Wolf . Can't find it

38:38.180 --> 38:40.236
anywhere . Is that just not starting

38:40.236 --> 38:42.013
yet ? What's its status ? Great

38:42.013 --> 38:44.347
question carl , so why don't you answer ?

38:44.347 --> 38:48.290
So you will not see the uh , MH 1 39 in

38:48.290 --> 38:52.010
the budget this year . Basically what

38:52.010 --> 38:54.840
we are doing is we are deferring the

38:54.850 --> 38:57.690
procurement of the MH139

38:58.020 --> 39:01.880
until 23 . It's not into the budget

39:01.890 --> 39:05.880
in in Fy 22 due to a Uh FAA

39:05.880 --> 39:08.160
certification issue that we have

39:08.170 --> 39:11.230
experienced . And so uh at this point

39:11.240 --> 39:14.590
uh , we do not have a procurement plan

39:14.600 --> 39:18.360
in 22 budget . And on

39:18.360 --> 39:22.040
page 33 you say there are 10

39:22.040 --> 39:24.960
trainer aircraft . Is that the Red Hawk ?

39:24.960 --> 39:28.360
What is that ? I'm not sure . I filled

39:28.360 --> 39:31.080
me with page 33 . Yeah , it's not the

39:31.080 --> 39:34.330
briefing , it's the overview . Yeah ,

39:35.420 --> 39:37.640
Yeah . So , so we're not procuring any

39:37.640 --> 39:41.610
new T/7 in this budget . You know ,

39:41.620 --> 39:44.080
every calf won't come until later , so

39:44.080 --> 39:46.290
I'm not familiar with that particular

39:46.290 --> 39:49.130
one . Thanks to you . Got a question

39:49.130 --> 39:51.241
would follow up with me , get with me

39:51.241 --> 39:53.574
afterwards and I'll get that to use two .

39:53.710 --> 39:55.766
Ladies and gentlemen , that's all we

39:55.766 --> 39:58.099
have time for today . Again , gentlemen ,

39:58.099 --> 40:00.266
appreciate your time today . If you've

40:00.266 --> 40:02.432
got any follow on , please come see me

40:02.432 --> 40:04.488
afterwards and we'll get those two .

40:04.488 --> 40:06.570
Thank you . Thank you all very much

40:06.580 --> 40:07.530
appreciate your time today .
