The Navy's proposed FY2011 budget requests about $1.8 billion for the procurement of 22 F/A- 18E/F Super Hornet strike fighters and about $1.0 billion for the procurement of 12 EA-18G Growler electric attack aircraft. The FY2011 Navy budget does not request a new multiyear procurement (MYP) arrangement for procuring F/A-18E/Fs and EA-18Gs in FY2011-FY2015. Some Members of Congress are interested in the option of procuring additional F/A-18E/Fs in FY2011 to make a start toward mitigating a projected Navy-Marine Corps strike fighter shortfall. Some Members are also interested in approving a new MYP arrangement for procuring Super Hornets and Growlers in FY2011-FY2015, to further mitigate the shortfall and reduce the collective procurement cost of the aircraft.
