The total investment required now exceeds $1 trillion, more than $300 billion to acquire 2,456 aircraft and $760 billion in life cycle operating and support costs, according to program estimates. The Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 requires GAO to review the JSF program annually for 5 years. This is the fifth and final report under the mandate in which GAO (1) determines the program's progress in meeting cost, schedule, and performance goals; (2) assesses manufacturing results and schedule risks; and (3) evaluates development test plans, progress, and risks. GAO's work included analyses of a wide range of program documents, cost data and interviews with defense and contractor officials. GAO recommends that DOD (1) report to the congressional defense committees on the risks and mitigation strategy for use of cost reimbursement contracts for procurement and plans to transition to fixed price contracts and (2) ensure that the prime contractor performs periodic schedule risk analyses to improve schedule and budget actions. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 500 $a "GAO-09-303." 610 10 $a United States. $b Dept. of Defense $x Procurement. 630 00 $a Joint strike fighter. 650 0 $a Fighter planes $z United States $x Finance. 650 0 $a Jet planes, Military $z United States. 856 40 $u http://purl.access.gpo.gov/GPO/LPS113411 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824025831.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7E8F99D4FE5F11E2B6A414D3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
