And the FCS's vaunted mobility has already been scrapped; the Army has abandoned plans to transport all those vehicles to the battlefield aboard C-130 cargo planes because they are too heavy. Costs are on the rise as well: the Army was able to keep the FCS's total price tag at $160 billion only by killing four of the program's 18 platforms in 2007--and is likely...
