The House also planned to approve provisions of the 2016 defense-spending bill that would continue support for the F-35 aircraft program, but require additional oversight of the plane’s besieged engine and logistics systems. Other areas of interest include:
Addressing of shortfalls in the Navy’s F/A-18 Super Hornet and tactical strike fighter programs and the Marine Corps AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter program.
Providing additional UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters to the Army National Guard, and upgrading those now in the inventory.
Addressing unfunded requirements for the Army and Marine Corps Javelin missile programs.
Upgrading the “lethality” of Stryker Combat Vehicles.
