Who gets it
No single contractor is published as this line's leader. Award records are linked to this program — see Related Awards below — but no concentration index is published for it: the crosswalk computes concentration on budget line 0145, which more than one program uses, and more than one of them carries linked awards; the index is published only when one program carries every link on the line. 5 linked award records are listed below. Why the crosswalk is partial.

The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Description

Description — FA-18E/F

The F/A-18E/F Naval Strike Fighter is a twin-engine, mid-wing, multi-mission tactical aircraft. F/A-18E/F can be missionized through selected use of external equipment to accomplish specific fighter or attack missions. This capability allows the Operational Commander more flexibility in employing his tactical aircraft in a dynamic scenario. The primary design mission for the F/A-18E/F is a strike fighter which includes the traditional applications, such as fighter escort and fleet air defense, combined with the attack applications, such as interdiction and close air support. Since the same airframe systems are used on attack missions as well as fighter missions, excellent fighter and self defense capability is retained.

Justification

Justification — FA-18E/F

The FY 2026 request is for Integrated Logistics Support for government production-related logistics operations support through delivery of the final Lot 47/FY2023 aircraft. FY 2026 Production Line Shutdown funds costs associated with Aircraft Contractor Furnished Equipment (CFE), Government Furnished Equipment/Government Furnished Property (GFE/GFP) which includes planning and administration of the physical disposition of tools and equipment, data transition, supplier close-out, government and contractor labor. FY 2023 is the last year of procurement of the E/F aircraft. Last aircraft delivery of LOT 47 currently scheduled for April 2027.

Oversight

Department-level designation (not specific to this program)

GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not F/A-18E/F (Fighter) Hornet. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.

No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
