Pictured is a U.S. Air Force photo of a Royal Australian Air Force E-7 Wedgetail taking off from Nellis AFB, Nev. during the Black Flag 22-1 exercise on May 11, 2021.
In addition to the two Boeing [BA] E-7A Wedgetail
airborne early warning aircraft that the Air Force is buying for rapid
prototyping, the service has another five planned in the Wedgetail engineering
and manufacturing development (EMD) phase, Air Force Secretary Troy Meink said
on Thursday. The Air Force awarded Boeing a more than $2.3 billion Wedgetail
contract modification last month--an add-on bringing the total funded amount
for Wedgetail to more than $4.9 billion, or about $700 million per E-7.
