The Issue
Air National Guard F-16s and A-10s make up a significant percentage of the Total Air Force fighter fleet. The F-16 Viper, a multirole air superiority aircraft, and the A-10 Thunderbolt, a close air support aircraft, deploy in support of overseas contingency operations and perform domestic emergency response missions. However, each platform requires modernization and technology enhancements to continue to maintain readiness and lethality in the future.
Recommendation
- Continue designating active electronically-scanned array (AESA) digital radars for Air National Guard F-16 aircraft within defense appropriations legislation
- Continue funding F-16 cockpit and communications system modernization within defense appropriations legislation
- Continue to provide funding for A-10 wing replacements within defense appropriations legislation
