On October 1st. The military will
know if budget consideration are on track for the KC-46 program.
Defense News has offered this September
26, 2015 an observation: "Adding to Boeing’s
troubles, service officials warned this month that the Air Force may be forced
to break the KC-46 contract if the Pentagon is slapped with a yearlong continuing
resolution (CR) at the beginning of the fiscal year. If Congress can not
come to a budget agreement by Oct. 1, the Pentagon may be forced to operate
under a long-term CR, a stop-gap spending measure that temporarily funds the
government at prior year levels."
By the way the KC-46 passed its initial
fully loaded system flight test yesterday. This paves the way for testing each
system loaded on the KC-46 during the next steps testing progressions, regardless of
having a money milestone conquered while the military seeks etching money from congress.
The process continues, however, with a lower build rate if Congress does not pull its collective head out of the congressional well. There are several military projects hanging on a budget vote of importance featured in Winging It. KC-46, F-35, and the Navy's DDG1000 program. Money not in place for the programs is the game changer.
