Military Aircraft Upgrade: Boosting Readiness and Securing Specialized Jobs.

This law authorizes the Navy to upgrade its CMV-22 transport aircraft fleet with improved engine components (nacelles) to significantly boost mission readiness and reliability. The initiative also serves a dual purpose: sustaining the nation's only tiltrotor industrial base and retaining skilled manufacturing jobs, particularly in Amarillo, Texas, during a production transition period. Implementation relies on existing defense appropriations, not new funding.
Key points
Enhances the reliability and operational readiness of the Navy's CMV-22 transport aircraft, crucial for military logistics and operations.
Sustains the specialized tiltrotor manufacturing industry and protects skilled jobs in the US (Amarillo, Texas) during a gap in aircraft production.
The upgrades must be prioritized in fiscal years 2025 and 2026, utilizing funds already allocated in the defense budget.
