Lockheed, Pentagon Agree On Latest F-35 Production Lot
Oct 27, 2014
Low-rate, initial production (LRIP) lot 8 pricing will be released once the final contract details are firm.
The price for each of the three F-35 variants is roughly 3.6% less expensive than in LRIP 7; this should put the cost of an F-35A in LRIP 8 at about $93.3 million, an F-35B at $100.5 million and an F-35C at $111.1 million.
This lot includes the initial orders for the first two F-35 foreign military sales countries; Israel and Japan are each slated to receive their first two F-35As. The U.S. order is for 29 of the jets — 19 As for the Air Force, six Bs for the Marine Corps and four Cs for the Navy. Also included are two F-35As each for Norway and Italy, as well as four F-35Bs for the United Kingdom, Hawn says.
This lot is for fiscal 2014 buys and deliveries should be complete by the end of fiscal 2016.
The LRIP deal comes as the F-35 team plans for its first F-35C deployment on a carrier.
Lockheed Martin continues to slowly implement a fix to engines in its test fleet.

Pentagon Acquisition Chief Doubts USMC’s July F-35 IOC Target
Oct 29, 2014
It is growing more and more likely that July 1, 2015, will not mark the initial operational capability (IOC) declaration for the F-35B desired by the U.S. Marine Corps.
Marine IOC includes the first squadron, VMFA-121, with 10-16 F-35Bs and enough trained pilots and maintenance officials to deploy for war. The first F-35B unit is slated for its initial deployment in 2017 to Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan.
The service initially will use the fighter’s 2B software package, which is limited in capability, to conduct basic close air support and interdiction activities. Weapons included in the initial package are the AIM-120C7 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile, Joint Direct Attack Munition and GBU-12 laser-guided bomb.
