Capital expenditures in FY 2010, FY 2011, and FY 2012 include the procurement of a total of three
737-like aircraft and the modification of aircraft cargo doors to meet future payload configurations to
replace three aging DC-9s in the STA fleet.
Armored Tractor production activities will increase in FY 2013 once the aircraft procurements and
modifications are complete. The Armored Tractor program has reached its life cycle and replacements
are necessary to provide safe and secure transportation.
In addition, the remaining capital operating expenditures are associated with procurement of specialized
escort vehicles. The vehicles are required to meet projected workload, replacing aging vehicles and
initiate a steady state lifecycle. Escort vehicles are critical in providing safe and secure transportation to
convoy operations.
