The companies have decided not to submit a proposal for the T-X Trainer program, as it would not be in the best interest of the companies and their shareholders, Northrop said in a statement released Wednesday.
The Northrop-BAE teams decision comes a week after Raytheon (NYSE: RTN) and Leonardoended their partnership and a month after the service branch sought proposals for the $16.3 billion program that seeks a replacement aircraft for the current T-38 platform.
Breaking Defense’s Colin Clark wrote the companies withdrawal from the competition leaves three industry teams that plan to bid for the T-X program:
Boeing (NYSE: BA) and Saab
Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and Korean Aerospace Industries
Sierra Nevada Corp. and Turkish Aerospace Industries
