Air force: $14B
$4B on 50 F-35A from 2030-2031.
$3B on 100 Mosquito Light Fighters from 2030-2031.
$3B on focused research on AI autonomy, neural networks, and computer assisted aerial combat strategy. Makes the mosquitoes perform adequately as light fighters deployed en masse without as much direct control needed, though of course at this stage they still need "direction" from a human in terms of targets etc. Also works towards goal of Tempest project for a "smart" unmanned aircraft controlling other light aircraft autonomously. Generative adversary networks in simulations are starting to bear fruit over human pilots/air commanders on a more strategic level though this needs to be applied to physical models.
$4B on continued Tempest development. Will it be ready by 2035? Who knows?
