Business case analysis of the Joint Strike Fighter's alternate engine program
Abstract
dc:description.abstractThis thesis is a Business Case Analysis (BCA) of the costs, benefits, issues, and effects associated with maintaining the Joint Strike Fighter’s (JSF) alternate engine program. It compares the competition (dual-source) and sole-source scenarios with regards to the development, production, and life-cycle sustainment of the JSF engine. The study also explores past Department of Defense (DoD) engine acquisition programs, including the highly successful dual-sourced F-16 engine, to establish a precedent for the potential monetary and non-monetary benefits that can result from competition. Finally, the BCA examines the non-quantitative impacts the program’s cancellation will have on the DoD, its allies, and the industrial base.
