It means that besides SpaceX, there is finally another commercial company with heavy-lift launch capability that can reliably send large communications satellites into orbit. This breaks the biggest bottleneck constraining market competition: launch capacity. It gives companies like AST SpaceMobile, which focus on satellite design and communication protocols, the confidence to challenge Starlink. The market has officially moved from a &ldquo;have or have not&rdquo; stage to an era of &ldquo;who is better, faster, and cheaper.&rdquo;</p>https://www.solosoft.dev/trends/2026-05-01-us-air-force-wants-to-order-more-ea-37bs-retire-e-/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.solosoft.dev/trends/2026-05-01-us-air-force-wants-to-order-more-ea-37bs-retire-e-/<h2 id="bluf-us-air-force-accelerates-electronic-warfare-transformation-e-11a-communications-relay-aircraft-to-be-fully-retired-by-2028-ea-37b-electronic-attack-aircraft-orders-nearly-doubled-reflecting-leo-satellites-and-modular-payloads-as-new-pillars-of-battlefield-communications-defense-supply-chain-and-allied-cooperative-operations-to-undergo-fundamental-change">BLUF: US Air Force Accelerates Electronic Warfare Transformation, E-11A Communications Relay Aircraft to Be Fully Retired by 2028, EA-37B Electronic Attack Aircraft Orders Nearly Doubled, Reflecting LEO Satellites and Modular Payloads as New Pillars of Battlefield Communications, Defense Supply Chain and Allied Cooperative Operations to Undergo Fundamental Change.</h2> <p>In a document submitted to Congress on April 30, 2026, the US Air Force clearly expressed its desire to nearly double orders for the EA-37B electronic attack aircraft while planning to fully retire the relatively young E-11A fleet by fiscal year 2028. This decision is not merely a platform replacement but represents a structural shift in the US military&rsquo;s strategic thinking on battlefield communications and electronic warfare. This article interprets the far-reaching implications of this decision from three perspectives: technological maturity, industry chain impact, and future operational concepts.</p>
