NASHVILLE, Tenn. — An Army analysis of alternatives for the Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft is not expected to significantly change the program, according to the service’s acquisition chief.
Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Va., chairman of the House Armed Services Tactical Air and Land subcommittee, said during a recent hearing he was alarmed the Army was just beginning an AOA — as the service has already spent $2 billion on the program, which is in the prototyping phase.
Doug Bush told him the analysis is “advisory.”
“I’m confident ... the AOA, the way it’s structured, is fair,” he added. “It is very thorough, examining many alternatives. I think that’s good.”
