USAF Official: Boeing 'Challenged' by KC-46 Schedule | Defense News | defensenews.com: The US Air Force’s top military acquisition official says Boeing is being challenged by integration of its KC-46A Pegasus tanker, and warned that further slips may imperil key target dates.
“Boeing has struggled, from my past experience, on probably the most challenging part of any program, which is the integration and test piece,” Lt. Gen. Ellen Pawlikowski, military deputy for acquisition, told reporters Wednesday morning. “They had the issue with the wiring and that has proven to be more challenging for them to overcome than I think they originally anticipated.
“So we are continuing to see them being challenged by their near-term schedules.”
