This Frost & Sullivan research service focuses on the budget spending and contracts of the United States Department of Defense (DoD) transport aircraft modernization space. The DoD deploys many transport aircraft to move troops and cargo and perform aerial refueling. Continuous modernization is necessary to ensure all aircraft are mission-ready and maximize operational effectiveness.
Much of the DoD transport aircraft inventory comprises older airframes that require extensive maintenance, repair, and overhaul to remain at peak effectiveness. These aircraft and newer-build airframes continue to receive improved avionics, engines, and sensors.
The study covers research, development, test, evaluation, procurement, and operations and maintenance activities in the space, with the base year as 2021. The programs listed are from the FY 2023 DoD budget request, while contract activity is for 2021 and 2022. The DoD transport aircraft budget request includes the Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and joint service spending.
