Arlington, Va. – The Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) has expressed support for new legislation introduced by the Senate and House Armed Services Committees. The legislation, led by Senator Roger Wicker and Congressman Mike Rogers, proposes a $150 billion investment in defense priorities as part of reconciliation efforts.
"This legislation is a significant step toward modernizing America’s military capabilities for the needs of the future," said Eric Fanning, President and CEO of AIA. "The $150 billion investment will not only boost our defense industrial base but also ensure that our warfighters are equipped with the latest technology and resources necessary to maintain our military superiority across every domain: air, land, sea, and space.
