Abstract

The article discusses the outlook for the Long-Range Strike Bomber (LRS-B) program being contested by Northrop Grumman and the Boeing/Lockheed Martin consortium. It takes note of research and development expenditures to be balanced by U.S. Department of Defense and Air Force acquisition heads Frank Kendall and Bill LaPlante with production run quantity for the bomber. The Northrop Grumman B-2 plane is cited as a case of developmental delay and high unit cost.
