Autonetics Contract Loss Seen in F141 Fighter Supply
A government auditor testified that North American Rockwell Autonetics may lose up to 500 million on its subcontract for electronic heat in the F141 swing wing fighter. El Segundo officials said legal action could settle price disputes with General Dynamics, though they deny the loss reaching 500 million. The dispute was raised by GAO auditor Nunnally, tied to Sen. McClellan’s Senate subcommittee, with Air Force cost estimates contributing to the debate. Deliveries are paused to fix a wing defect as the project faces escalating costs and scrutiny.
