• The US Air Force selected Boeing for its Next Generation Air Dominance sixth-generation fighter, dubbed F-47.
• The Air Force has not executed any sweeping overhauls, despite the ousting of former Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin.
• The Air Force is moving ahead with closing Minuteman III silos to hasten the Sentinel program's transition.
• The Pentagon's FY26 budget documents show $11.1 billion in savings, largely stemming from moves like cutting consultants and travel.
• Lockheed Martin proposes a new F-35 fuselage design to address radar 'delays'.

The Air Force's selection of Boeing for the F-47 may signal a shift in procurement priorities, potentially at the expense of its Navy counterpart. The Air Force's decision to move forward with the Sentinel program, despite criticism, suggests a focus on countering emerging threats. The Pentagon's budget cuts may indicate a broader effort to reduce costs and increase efficiency, but the impact on program timelines and capabilities is unclear.
