F-35 (Joint Strike Fighter) –
Program costs decreased by $981.3 million (-0.3%) from
$299,824.1 million to $298,842.8 million, due primarily to the application of revised escalation
indices (-$1,955.8 million), lower material estimates because of prime contractor’s material
agreements (-$1,650.6 million), and incorporation of revised prime/subcontractor labor rates
(-$879.4 million). There was an additional reduction for a revised estimate of support costs
(-$7,445.0 million). These decreases were partially offset by higher estimates for elements of
procurement nonrecurring costs (+$4,369.0 million), an adjustment to reflect manufacturing
actuals for the System Demonstration and Development (SDD) flight test articles (+$3,849.9
million), and a revised propulsion estimate to include additional hardware and increased lift fan
cost (+$2,769.1 million).
Overall, it should be noted that the Nunn-McCurdy unit costs are
stable relative to the current and original baseline estimates.
