The Air Force wants to buy 51 Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicles and more than 100 of the original Predator UAVs, plus an untold number of the newer, upgraded B model Predators. That from USAF Lt. Gen. (sel.) Donald J. Hoffman, speaking at a Capitol Hill seminar Wednesday. Hoffman recently was confirmed as the new military deputy in Air Force acquisition.
The Air Force budget would grow to $234 billion while Space Force spending would shrink to $26 billion under the White House's yearly ask.
