FALLS CHURCH, Va., Feb. 16, 2016 . U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has denied Boeing’s protest and reaffirmed the Air Force’s decision to award Northrop Grumman the Long-Range Strike Bomber (LRS-B) contract.
This confirms that the U.S. Air Force conducted an extraordinarily thorough selection process and selected the most capable and affordable solution.
The LRS-B is vitally important to national security and we are delighted to be resuming work on the next-generation Long-Range Strike Bomber.
