U.S. Senators Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman announced the projects at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Friday.
"Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is critical to our nation's military and to southwest Ohio's economy," Brown said.
Another $1.1 billion will be allocated for Air Force Research and Development projects run out of the Air Force Research Laboratory at the base.
"This legislation will ensure that the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base remains a national leader in delivering world-class national security capabilities to our men and women in uniform by providing resources to help protect and improve the base." Portman said.
