After a two-year solicitation and competition process in 20182020, in August 2020 the USSF selected SpaceX (F9 and FH) and ULA's yet-to-be-certified Vulcan Centaur to supply US military launch requirements in 20222027. Of those 106 launches, 57 have been EELV National Security Space launches in support of the Navy, National Reconnaissance Office and the SpaceForce. The Governments objectives were to develop Payload Category A, B, and C launch system prototypes, through shared investment with industry partners that will lead to EELV certified launch systems capable of providing launch services for all EELV-class National Security Space (NSS) missions. The payload interface at each port has been Falcon Heavy has been certified for two Phase 1A reference orbits and as of 2019, "[i]t's not certified for all of our most stressing national security space orbits," Thompson said. << /Length 13 0 R /N 3 /Alternate /DeviceRGB /Filter /FlateDecode >> [32] In 2020, ULA announced that retirement of the Delta IV is anticipated in 2023 after 5 more launches. The FY 2016 NDAA recognized that a small number of Russian engines could be needed to ensure a near-term competitive environment. ULAs use of these tactics artificially created a need for relief from legislative restrictions on its ability to continue using RD-180relief that, with the DoDs active assistance, ULAs actively sought in the fiscal year 2016 omnibus appropriations bill.

The USAF began the EELV program in 1994, following many years of government-funded studies into improved systems and architecture. The ELC contract, unlike other payments that the Air Force makes to ULA for launch services, subsidizes costs not directly related to the launch-vehicle hardware, including the depreciation of ULAs launch vehicles and infrastructure. As of 2015 the EELV program was actively pursuing a competitive scenario for launch acquisitions, but the launch industry is currently undergoing numerous changes, and the makeup of the industry in the future is uncertain.

If that was the case, then the Air Force will have developed a new family of launch vehicles that would be primarily used only for national security payloads, resulting in higher overhead costs to DoD, while missing an opportunity to maximize the competitive posture of US industry. However, the Committee was concerned that the Department was focusing too narrowly on its national security requirements and not adequately reflecting the needs of the US commercial space launch industry. 0000006428 00000 n ' Zk! $l$T4QOt"y\b)AI&NI$R$)TIj"]&=&!:dGrY@^O$ _%?P(&OJEBN9J@y@yCR nXZOD}J}/G3k{%Ow_.'_!JQ@SVF=IEbbbb5Q%O@%!ByM:e0G7 e%e[(R0`3R46i^)*n*|"fLUomO0j&jajj.w_4zj=U45n4hZZZ^0Tf%9->=cXgN].
