The Marines plan to add 13 F-35s to their program, bringing the total to 2,456 jets, according to the latest figures included in the 2017 annual Selected Acquisition Report.
The program™s acquisition costs rose to $406.5 billion from $379 billion, below SAR estimates, according to the report. Some of the cost rise can be attributed to the Air Force’s decision to cut the number of F-35As it purchased by 25 percent over the next six years. That led to a total program cost estimate rise of $11 billion.
œThe F-35 program remains within all cost, schedule and performance thresholds and continues to make steady progress, said Vice Adm. Mat Winter, F-35 Program Executive Officer in a statement. œThe F-35 Joint Program Office is committed to the delivery of cost-effective war fighting capability across all areas of the program and is aggressively pursuing affordability opportunities within our three lines of effort ” Development, Production, Sustainment ” to further drive down total program costs now and in the future.”
