F-35 Block Buy - An Assessment of Potential Savings

Résumé du livre

"This appendix discusses how historical multiyear procurement (MYP) and block buy (BB) contracts have been implemented and how they compare with each other. As context for an analysis of potential savings in an F-35 BB contract, researchers examined 28 historical multiyear contracts, spanning 17 different weapon systems (15 aircraft and two naval vessels). This appendix outlines the methodology and data sources for analyzing historical MYP and BB contracts, provides a high-level overview of trends observed across the case studies, and provides in-depth discussion of the more-recent historical multiyear program case studies."--Publisher's description.
