Follow on Google News |  Experts Detail $2 Billion Cost Savings for Trump's Air Force OneWright Williams & Kelly, Inc.'s (WWK) aerospace and defense team identified concepts and pathways to save the Trump Administration $2 billion without compromises to the core mission or lowering core capabilities. Compared to the Pentagon's existing $4 billion sole source, no bid proposal, WWK's alternatives are based on aircraft available from Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Northrop Grumman, Embraer, etc. that have less technical risk and can be delivered sooner than Boeing's 747-8s expected in 2023. Off-the-shelf defense and commercial options considered by WWK's team increase Air Force One's survivability while improving POTUS wartime ability to command and control America's forces and nuclear arsenal. Utilization of network centric and stealth technologies developed by manufacturers like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, BAE Systems, Harris, General Dynamics, and L3 will enhance resilience and survivability to anticipated mid-21st century requirements. A more economical Air Force One will meet the needs of allies like Japan, Germany, U.K., Australia, and Canada with limited budgets and create opportunities for additional export sales while lowering costs further for the Trump Administration. WWK's team has over 100 years of experience in aerospace, defense, high technology manufacturing, and COTS strategies, as well as modeling and simulation for cost reduction and productivity improvements.
