The U.S. Defense Department is finalizing paperwork that will unveil a new total program cost estimate for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program in just a few days, according to the Navy admiral who oversees the multibillion dollar effort.
Acting Pentagon acquisition chief Frank Kendall has indicated his approval of the program re-baseline, which was required after the programs price tag exceeded congressionally set spending limits in 2010, said Vice Adm. David Venlet after a March 20 House Armed Services tactical air and land forces subcommittee hearing.
Weve had our meetings and hes certainly indicated his approval, Venlet, the F-35 program manager, said. Weve got some paperwork signing to do and that will happen in a matter of just a few days.
A prior Pentagon cost estimate for development and production of 2,443 jets topped $380 billion. A new acquisition decision memorandum a document signed by the Pentagons top weapons buyer that approve a procurement milestone is expected to include a new total cost estimate for the entire F-35 program.
The Pentagon plans to send the updated F-35 cost figures, as well as those of other programs, to Congress in just a couple of weeks, Venlet said.
