摘要

Set aside stealth, weapons, and electronic warfare for now: The chief thing the F-35 must do to survive the extremely hostile environment it's fighting in-the budget arena-is get cheaper. Recent events indicate that's happening, and just how much lower the F-35 price will get should become clear this month. In July, the F-35 Joint Program Office announced it had a handshake deal with prime contractor Lockheed Martin on the sixth and seventh low-rate production lots of the F-35, totaling 71 aircraft. Not only had the negotiations been concluded in a fraction of the time required for previous lots, but Lot 6 was roughly four percent cheaper than Lot 5, and Lot 7 was another four percent cheaper than Lot 6. The two lots included airplanes for the US, Australia, Italy, and Norway. The practical effect of the cost reduction was huge: The Pentagon had expected it would have to cut as many as five aircraft out of each lot to live within sequester constraints. The full buy wouldn't have been possible without the lower unit costs for the airplanes and "lower prices on a number of smaller contracts," JPO spokesman Joseph DellaVedova said. The deal, estimated to be worth about $7 billion, didn't include the engines, which are supplied by Pratt & Whitney.
