We have received text from H.R. 9780: BRRRRT Act of 2026. This bill was received on 2026-07-20, and currently has 5 cosponsors.
Here is a short summary of the bill:
The bill would restrict the retirement or divestment of A-10 aircraft through 2033 unless the Secretary of the Air Force certifies that a fully capable replacement is available. In practice, this means the Air Force would have to keep the A-10 fleet available for a longer period unless another aircraft or system can fully take over its mission.
What it requires the Air Force to do
- Preserve and inventory A-10s: The Air Force would need to maintain records of the aircraft and keep track of their condition and availability.
- Maintain sustainment and training capacity: The service would need to preserve the ability to support, maintain, and train personnel on the A-10.
- Report to Congress: The bill includes reporting requirements on the status of the fleet and related planning.
- Create a preservation/history program: Some A-10s would be retained for historical preservation and commemoration purposes.
- Support a demonstration team: The bill would authorize or preserve an A-10 demonstration or exhibition capability.
- Experiment with autonomous alternatives: The Air Force would be directed to test or study autonomous systems that could eventually replace some A-10 functions.
- Provide a combat-legacy report: The bill would require a report on the A-10’s past and continuing role in combat operations.
Foreign transfer and contingency use
The bill also requires a briefing on whether surplus A-10s could be transferred to foreign partners or kept in a recoverable condition for future security cooperation or contingency use. That briefing would need to address:
- Whether such transfers are feasible
- Which allied countries might be candidates
- Training, maintenance, and basing needs
- Export-control and security concerns
Overall effect
Overall, the bill would slow or prevent the A-10’s retirement unless a replacement is confirmed, while also making sure the aircraft remain tracked, supported, and available for training, historical display, and possible future use with U.S. partners or in contingency situations.
