Summary:

Most of DOD's existing tactical aircraft first entered service in the 1970s and 1980s and have exceeded their original service lives. As DOD seeks to modernize its tactical aircraft fleet, it must balance sustaining older aircraft currently in operation with developing and procuring more advanced capabilities to support the future force. This is a public version of a sensitive report issued in November 2022. Aircraft divestment details were deemed sensitive and have been omitted from this report. GAO's review (1) describes DOD tactical aircraft studies regarding projected gaps and shortfalls and (2) assesses DOD portfolio-level analyses informing tactical aircraft investments. GAO is recommending that DOD (1) conduct integrated acquisition portfolio-level analysis of all fixed-wing tactical aircraft platforms and (2) require the information underpinning that analysis be provided to Congress.

Contents:

• Recent DOD studies continue to identify the need to modernize tactical aircraft fleet.
• DOD has not conducted integrated portfolio-level analysis across tactical aircraft investments.
• Conclusions.
• Recommendations for executive action.
• Agency comments and our evaluation.
