The Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) is a cooperative program between the Department of Defense (DOD) and U.S. allies for developing and producing next generation fighter aircraft to replace aging inventories. As currently planned, the JSF program is DOD's most expensive aircraft program to date, costing an estimated $200 billion to procure about 2,600 aircraft and related support equipment. Many in DOD consider JSF to be a model for future cooperative programs. To determine the implications of the JSF international program structure, GAO identified JSF program relationships and expected benefits and assessed how DOD is managing cost sharing, technology transfer, and partner expectations for industrial return. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-775/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-775.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-775/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-775.pdf GAO-03-775 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-775 Other Written Product GAO-03-775; Joint Strike Fighter Acquisition: Cooperative Program Needs Greater Oversight to Ensure Goals Are Met; Defense procurement Financial management International relations Program evaluation Strategic planning Military aircraft Joint Strike Fighter Title 22 Section 2761 Title 22 Section 2767 22 U.S.C. 2761 22 U.S.C. 2767
