裁剪各型军用飞机286架,包括123架作战飞机,相当于6个战术中队,1个训练中队(MD空军原有60个战机中队,裁剪12%),主要为102架A-10C(剩余246架),21架老旧F-16。主要保留多任务,大航程机型,现有各类作战飞机(比如F-22)将进行多重任务改装。

新装备采购和升级计划,包括KC-46A加油机,advanced intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR),新型远程轰炸机和F-16机队升级将被延缓。

空军运输机将裁剪27架旧式C-5A,65架老旧C-130,38架现役和将要采购的C-27,保留222架C-17,52架C-5M和300多架新型C-130。

空军侦察机将退役18架RQ-4Block30全球鹰,11架RC-26,1架损坏的E-8C。

空军也将裁剪9900人。

报告还特别指出,去年12月17日,MD空军20年来首次没有出动空军飞机飞临伊拉克上空执行任务。而空军则将努力利用裁剪后的空军力量应对例如利比亚冲突造成的小规模快速反应任务。

The U.S. Air Force is proposing to cut 123 fighters and 133 airlifters as it manages spending reductions triggered by a flattening defense budget and declining operational demands. Air Force Secretary Michael Donley, at an Air Force Association event in Washington on Feb. 2, previewed more details of the USAF portion of the fiscal 2013 budget request that comes out Feb. 13.

Overall, the Air Force will be reduced by 286 aircraft. Of these, 123 will be fighters, the equivalent of seven squadrons — six tactical, one training — out of 60 squadrons. Of these, 102 will be A-10Cs and 21 will be older model F-16s — a response to the smaller size of the ground forces they will support. There will be 246 A-10s remaining.

The service is retaining multimission aircraft that can address a broad spectrum of threats and those that can be converted to a common configuration such as the C-5M Globemaster III. Service planners also are looking at common, extended-range C-17s. The F-22 also is being modified to a common configuration to ensure operational flexibility.

Programs that are being slowed are having their funding protected. Those include the Long Range Strike family of systems and its new bomber, the KC-46A tanker, advanced intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and the F-16 fleet.

Not all modernization programs will slow, however.

“As we worked through the implications of the delays in the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, we have made a commitment to modernize about 350 F-16s with additional capabilities,” Donley says. “We have delayed F-35 full-rate production, but there are no changes in the program of record involving the projected size of the F-35 fleet. Those decisions will be made in the 2020s when production has reached about 1,000-1,600 aircraft.

Air mobility will take a 133-aircraft divestment. The Air Force will retain 222 C-17s, 52 C-5Ms and 300-plus C-130s. Divestments will include 27 C-5As, 65 older C-130s and all 38 existing and planned C-27s.

There will be adjustments to the number of ISR platforms. The remotely piloted aircraft force will be sized to 65 orbits with the ability to surge to 85. There will be no change in the number of manned aircraft among the 55th Wing’s special missions platforms that include the RC-135 Rivet Joint, Cobra Ball and Combat Sent fleets. Regular upgrades of the signals, infrared and measurements and signatures payloads will continue. The fleets’ technology upgrades will remain well funded.

“We will retire the RQ-4 Global Hawk block 30 fleet, which is about 18 aircraft, 11 RC-26s and one battle-damaged E-8C Joint-Stars aircraft,” Donley says. “There was increasing cost [in the Global Hawk] program that passed our level of tolerance. We like the capability, but not at any cost. We had a good alternative with [continued use of the manned] U-2. We still have the Global Hawk Block 20s, which are important to communications, and we intend to buy the Block 40s with ground moving target indicator capabilities.”

Personnel loss will be 9,900 in the Air Force — 3,900 active duty, 5,100 Air National Guard and 900 reserves. The active and reserve components will be more integrated. Associate units will go up to 115 units from 100. Every state will be affected by either equipment or manpower adjustments. The Air Force is mitigating manpower reductions by re-missioning Air National Guard units to remotely piloted aircraft and ISR.

Beyond budget reductions that stem from last August’s deficit-cutting and debt-ceiling law, the Budget Control Act of 2011, the Air Force secretary noted changes to operational tempo that are helping to drive these changes. “Dec. 17 was the first day in over 20 years that the U.S. did not fly a sortie over Iraq,” Donely noted. On the other hand, the Libyan campaign forced the Air Force to respond to a military emergency “in a matter of hours,” which means a demand for flexibility from that smaller force.

后续的几架全球鹰Block30不买就算了,已经买了的18架还没用几年就退役,真是浪费啊,啊,说贵那升级维护U2也得花钱啊,还是洛马厉害,俺里面人多


中国招聘航校教练、地勤。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。飞过维护过F22、B2的优先

苏联早已作古,南联盟阿富汗伊拉克利比亚也被荡平,美帝壮哉!王师可以卸甲归田了。没有敌手了当然要裁军,很正常。估计某些小同学又开始说美帝没钱咯,穷的要裁军了吧
