（路透社4月30日电）美国空军部长特洛伊·明克周四在众议院一个小组委员会上表示，除已签订合同的2架原型机外，美国空军计划再采购5架波音E-7A楔尾预警机。
去年美国国防部放弃采购26架波音E-7A以替换冷战时期的空中预警与指挥系统（AWACS）机队的计划后，这类预警机的未来一度充满不确定性。这也促使北约取消了采购6架E-7A的计划。

美国此前已承诺采购2架E-7A原型机。该机型基于波音畅销的737客机打造。
明克在众议院拨款委员会国防小组委员会发言时表示，美国空军计划采购5架用于工程与制造开发阶段的E-7A。

April 30 (Reuters) – The U.S. Air Force plans to buy five Boeing E-7A Wedgetail surveillance aircraft, in addition to two prototypes already under contract, Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink told a House subcommittee on Thursday.
The future of the airborne early warning and control system aircraft (AWACS) was thrown into doubt last year when the Pentagon backed off plans to acquire 26 Boeing E-7As to replace its Cold War-era AWACS fleet. That prompted NATO to scrap plans to buy six E-7As.

The U.S. already had committed to buying two E-7A prototypes. The plane is based on Boeing’s popular 737 jet.
Speaking to the House Appropriations defense subcommittee, Meink said the Air Force plans to buy five engineering and manufacturing development E-7As.
