Holmes: What ACC Expects from New 'Century Series'

摘要

The Air Force will have more unique fighter programs in the coming years, but each will yield fewer airplanes than in the past, as the service moves toward a new "Century Series" of rapid development projects, Air Combat Command chief Gen. James M. Holmes said in an interview. Instead of one big program numbering 1,500 aircraft that takes decades to field, Air Force acquisition chief Will Roper envisions a future where the Air Force develops and fields multiple different airplanes more quickly, but in lower volume.
