Bill LaPlante, under secretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, said in a statement he approved low-rate initial production (LRIP) “this past fall” based on the results of ground and flight tests, plus the company’s mature plans for manufacturing.
“I gave the go-ahead to begin producing B-21s at a low rate,” he says.
“One of the key attributes of this program has been designing for production from the start—and at scale—to provide a credible deterrent to adversaries. If you don’t produce and field to warfighters at scale, the capability doesn’t really matter.”
Northrop Grumman in a statement said they received the contract award after the B-21 entered flight testing, “within the program baseline schedule.”
“Our production-representative test aircraft indicated readiness for production, achieving all flight performance and data requirements,” a company spokesperson says.
