New Budget Preserves Navy High End Combat Power



The Navy preserved development of future combat power over the next five years in its Fiscal Year 2015 $148 billion budget submission to Congress released in briefing at the Pentagon on Tuesday.

The procurement documents — released on Tuesday — emphasize weapon systems over the Future Years Defense Plan (FYDP) that will fit into future Navy constructs, like the Naval Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air—or NIFC-CA (pronounced: nif-kah) designed to prosecute high-end air wars in the 2020s as well as next generation surface ship weapons.......


....At the same time, the Navy will also purchase 995 Raytheon AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles through FY 2019. It will also continue to pursue the development of the longer-ranged Block III variant of the weapons....
