The world almanac of world War of Bison books corp 1981 however changes the picture. Republicans were instrumental this year in the congressional push to re Juire the administration to re examine its opposition to building More b-2s. " cuts in other weapons programs to pay for More b-2s could include bomber and air to ground weapon programs tactical strike aircraft other rapid crisis response forces such As Navy carriers and possibly direct support forces such As fighters according to the draft prospectus. These options will be compared with the plan favored by the Clinton administration shutting Down b-2 production after completion of 20 planes and reducing the bomber Force to about 100 aircraft. Meanwhile hoping to save its major weapons program from extinction North Rop Grumman corp. Is offering to build 20 More b-2s for a fixed Price of $11.4. Billion or $570 million per plane. That compares with $2.2 billion per plane for the first 20 aircraft a figure that include initial research and development costs. Northrop put together its offer at the request of the air Force. At the Penta gon on tuesday Ralph Crosby jr., head of Northrop s b-2 division outlined the offer to John Hamre the defense department s budget planner. The offer to build at a guaranteed Price comes after months of deliberations among Northrop and its Mainxb-2 sub contractors the Boeing co., builder of Wing and fuselage sections Hughes air Craft co., the radar supplier and Gener Al electric co., which builds the engines. Northrop s Cost offer differs sharply from a congressional budget office at b-2s study that said 20 More b-2s would Cost $26 billion. The Pentagon last summer put the Cost at $20 billion. _. Crosby conceded that the Northrop offer excludes such costs As spare parts training equipment and construction of special hangars but he said those extras would add no More than $2 billion to the Bottom line. B-2 supporters argue treat the United states needs to modernize a bomber Force heavily reliant on 1950s-Era b-52s. Opponents say the b-2 is an Over priced relic of the cold War Northr up carefully tailored its proposal to Buffer the sticker Shock that has Bede viled the b-2 from its beginnings in the late 1970s. Its $11.4 billion option would require a $630 million appropriation next year and just Over $1.5 billion in each of the following seven years.
