DOD Estimates New Air Force, Navy Helo Programs Will Cost $15 Billion

摘要

The Defense Department estimates two new acquisition programs -- the Combat Rescue Helicopter and Presidential Helicopter Fleet Replacement, both awarded to Sikorsky earlier this year -- will cost a combined $15 billion to develop and acquire, lifting planned U.S. military spending on Sikorsky products from $38 billion to more than $53 billion, a 38 percent increase.
