In addition to the delay in initial fielding, the service has decided to push the request for proposal of the air segment of UCLASS into Fiscal Year 2016.
The Navy included a modest $135 million for research and development efforts for the program, a significant drop from the FY 2015 request of $403 million.
The previous UCLASS funding is shackled to legislation that require several studies and reports to Congress on the Navy’s intentions for the final platform.
