NITRO104, the SAR takes it to PAUC,
what is skewing the numbers for the taxpayer on contracts and budgets is that a lot of long term costs are paid at the LRIP stage and if you divide that price between the LRIP tails. It gives a false price. There is a lot of stuff that needs to be divided between all the tails built, some 2,000+

As to lifetime cost, the good news that Sweetman won't tell you is that the lifetime costs have been reduced by 40% from 1.1 Trillion to some 800 billion

I bet you are happy about that
