据Janes defence-news网1月26日报道
美陆军和五角大楼新的文职领导将重点关注未来经费预算计划，将推进新型武器装备研发。
美陆军未来司令部司令约翰·默里将军称，在制定武器装备研发军种计划以增强与对手竞争能力方面，不会有重大项目调整。
他在国际战略研究中心举办的虚拟活动中，谈到陆军六个现代化优先事项即：远程精确火力 (LRPF)、新一代战车 (NGCV)、未来垂直升降系统、网络、航空与导弹防御和士兵杀伤力系统，并就新陆军部长面临的潜在经费预算问题发表看法。
他说：“陆军参谋长詹姆斯·麦康维尔将军已明确承诺，不会改变陆军的现代化优先发展项目”，称这六项在研计划已经在模拟仿真和战争游戏中得到验证。
他说，国防部可能削减未来经费预算，现在说可能会发生什么还“为时过早”，但他对此“相当乐观”，因为陆军从装备系统中裁减约300亿美元用于加强新型武器装备研发。
US Army soldiers on with modernisation priorities
New civilian leadership inside the US Army and Pentagon will be central to forthcoming budget plans and moving ahead with new equipment development. However, for now, US Army Futures Command head General John Murray said he is not anticipating sweeping changes when it comes to service plans to develop new weapons to better compete with peer competitors.
The four-star general answered questions during a 25 January virtual Center for Strategic and International Studies event on the army’s six modernisation priorities – Long-Range Precision Fires (LRPF); Next-Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV); Future Vertical Lift; The Network; Air and Missile Defense; and Soldier Lethality – and addressed potential funding questions as the service prepares for a new secretary.
“I have a firm commitment from the chief of staff of the army [General James McConville] that we will not change our modernisation priorities,” Gen Murray said, adding that these six lines of effort have been proven out during modelling and simulation, and wargames.
When it comes to potential funding cuts throughout the department, he noted that it is “too early to say” what might happen but said he remains “fairly optimistic” since the army trimmed roughly USD30 billion from the equipping portfolio to pay for new weapon development.
