"The cost of designing and developing these systems could continue to exceed estimates by billions of dollars if DOD continues to employ the same acquisition practices, including those for quality, as it has in the past," it said. "Excessive scrap, rework, and repair costs, as well as reliability problems impact overall quality and could ultimately present serious consequences on a weapon system's long-term support costs and affordability...
