Lawmakers Move To Save Early Warning Aircraft Initiative
The US Congress is working to secure funding for the E-7 Wedgetail program, an early-warning aircraft initiative that would replace the aging E-3 Sentry. After being removed from the chopping block by the Trump administration, lawmakers are now exploring budget amendments to keep the program alive. The Wedgetail is expected to provide advanced airborne early warning and control capabilities, marking a significant upgrade for the US military. This development was reported by Breaking Defense.
