Northrop Grumman Statement on Boeing's Protest of the Long-Range Strike Bomber Program
November 06 2015 - 11:26AM
The following is a statement by Randy Belote, vice president of
strategic communications for Northrop Grumman Corporation:
Northrop Grumman Corporation is disappointed that
its former LRS-B competitors have decided to disrupt a program that
is so vital to national security.
The U.S. Air Force conducted an exceptionally
thorough and disciplined process with multiple layers of review.
Their process took into full account the parties' respective
offerings and their relative capabilities to execute their
offerings on schedule and on budget.
Northrop Grumman offered an approach that is
inherently more affordable and based on demonstrated performance
and capabilities. Our record stands in contrast to that of other
manufacturers' large aircraft programs of the last decade.
As the only company to ever design and build a
stealth bomber, we offered the best solution for our nation's
security. We look forward to the GAO reaffirming the Defense
Department's decision so we can continue work on this critically
vital program.
