Donovan: No Buy of Light Attack Yet; More Experiments, More Types to Consider
1/18/2019
​​​​​​—John A. Tirpak​
​The Air Force won’t be issuing a request for proposals for a new light attack aircraft as expected, and will in fact expand its “campaign†of experiments to include larger and more powerful aircraft, possibly including jets, Undersecretary Matt Donovan said Friday.
Speaking to reporters after an AFA Mitchell Institute event in Arlington, Va., Donovan said a light attack aircraft request for proposals—which was expected by the end of 2018—won’t be coming “anytime soon†and that procurement funding for the program won’t be included in the forthcoming FY 2020 budget.
