The Navy is offering $105,000 to keep naval aviators in uniform and to become senior officers.
The goal is to keep "highly talented, hard-working" aviators and flight officers on active duty.
The Navy is also offering more than $100,000 to naval aviators to stay in the service and become senior officers and admirals.
While there is little recent data, historically, government investigations and reports have found that the Navy has struggled to retain pilots in necessary numbers.
This year, it offered similar-sized bonuses for some pilots to stay past that mid-career point as well.
