House Appropriators are looking to restore $163 million to the Army's procurement plan for CH-47F Block Ⅱ Chinooks as well as proposing a potential $235.6 million cut to the service's future augmented reality headset program. The two provisions are detailed in the report accompanying the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense's $694.6 billion fiscal year 2021 defense spending bill, which is set to be marked by the full committee on Tuesday. For the CH-47, HAC-D provides $323.8 million to cover 11 Block Ⅱ aircraft, above the Army's request of $160.8 million for six aircraft. Appropriators also included $47.4 million for long-lead procurement for CH-47 Block Ⅱs, which is $18.4 million more than the budget request.
