Tactical Aircraft: Concurrency in Development and Production of F-22 Aircraft Should Be Reduced (Letter Report, 04/19/<strong>95</strong>, GAO/<strong>NSIAD</strong>-<strong>95</strong>-<strong>59</strong>). Qantas To Launch New Maintenance System. Defense Acquisition Portal - Homepage [DAP] NAO report slams UK's Typhoon acquisition-02/03/2011-London-Flightglobal.com. The Royal Air Force’s reduced fleet of Eurofighter Typhoons could cost up to £37 billion ($60.2 billion) to acquire and support over the type’s service life, but will not become the UK’s first choice aircraft for ground attack missions until around 2018, according to a new National Audit Office (NAO) report.
Published on 2 March, the government spending watchdog’s ‘Management of the Typhoon project’ overview is highly critical of what it describes as over-optimism, bad decision making and poor cost control on the part of the UK Ministry of Defence. The RAF has so far taken delivery of 70 Typhoons from the UK’s planned offtake of 160 aircraft. Although it originally committed to buying 232 examples from the four-nation Eurofighter industry consortium, London has already cut 24 from this total by brokering the sale of 72 aircraft to Saudi Arabia, and also stated its intention to renege on a planned Tranche 3B commitment for a final 48.

A customer recently asked us for a standard set of estimating points.
And among us we didn’t have an answer off the top of our heads… We looked at PMI, ITIL, COBIT, etc. and found no standard. We deal with estimating gates all the time… So how come we didn’t have any standards. It struck me that the estimating points match many of the decision gates, the development gates.
