Schwartz: F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Nunn-McCurdy Breach ‘A Possibility’
ORLANDO, FL—The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, the most expensive weapon system acquisition program in Pentagon history, will likely breach congressional spending limits based on new funding estimates, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz acknowledged today.
The departments working though the [Nunn-McCurdy] process now and I would say its a possibility, he told reporters during a briefing this afternoon at an Air Force Association-sponsored conference here. It may be even likely, but I dont want to be again presumptive on that, but I just want to be straight with you.
