WASHINGTON - The Marines intends to publish an update to its aviation plan this year, which would be a first since 2019. Before that, the Corps published an aviation plan regularly in order to articulate its plans for the aviation industry and lawmakers about its views of the types of aircraft necessary for the future and which ones were reaching retirements. “The Marine Corps needs to do a better job of starting to re-engage with industry,” Brig. Gen. Matthew Mowery, assistant deputy commandant for aviation said at Feb. 9’s National Defense Industry Association Expeditionary Warfare conference. He extolled the need to get science and technology and research and development funding to help industry “develop some of these things so we can have a common understanding of when these technologies are going to be ready,” he said. A Marine spokesperson declined to provide a timeline publishing the updated document.
