The E-7A Wedgetail program has transitioned from the Middle Tier of Acquisition to Major Capability Acquisition due to intentional delays by the Air Force, and it will not meet the required five-year rapid prototyping timeline.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Defense Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your military aircraft projects face slower government timelines as rapid prototyping deadlines get dropped. Expect longer funding cycles and shifting requirements to Major Capability Acquisition processes.
