DOD paid billions in fees, regardless of performance, report says
The Pentagon paid incentives worth an estimated $8 billion to defense companies between 1999 and 2003, regardless of performance.
$203 million were given for the Comanche helicopter program run by Boeing and Sikorsky. The F-22A program has received nearly $900 million in incentives.
There were exceptions however, the Missile Defense Agency changed Boeing's Airborne Laser program award-fee plan to focus on achieving a successful demonstration by Dec. 2004.
