The Air Force has so far received 44 KC-46s, at a pace of about two per month. The service has allotted some to training and test, and AMC is still crafting its plan for how many tankers would be available. The goal is for the taskings to begin this year, Samuelson said. It will be a “conditions-based” approach, and could open up to more receivers as the KC-46 proves itself. For now, however, it will be limited to certain receiving aircraft. For example, jets with low-observable coatings such as the B-2, F-22, and F-35 would not be open for the missions because of continued issues with the RVS system, Samuelson said.
