Options for Fighter and Attack Aircraft: Costs and Capabilities

Abstract

This year the Congress is debating the fate of fighter and attack aircraft in the Air Force and the Navy. Decisions about these planes will significantly affect both the cost and the capability of U.S. military forces. This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Staff Memorandum addresses the affordability of fighter and attack aircraft under a base case that, where possible, is based on service statements made earlier this year about their plans for these planes. The memorandum also discusses the effects of alternative approaches to equipping the fighter and attack fleets.
