The Fiscal Year (FY) 2000 Appropriations Act directed a funding appropriation change for the second annual procurement of post-EMD aircraft. The appropriation was changed from procurement funds to Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation (RDT&E) funds. The lot nomenclature for the six aircraft was also changed from Lot 1 to Production Representative Test Vehicle II (PRTV II). This action was taken in lieu of an LRIP decision in November 1999. The result allowed procurement of six additional test aircraft to meet the ACC requirement for F/A-22 Force Development Evaluation (FDE) at Nellis AFB. Combining the two PRTV lots fulfills the requirement for eight FDE aircraft at Nellis AFB. This also maintained F/A-22 development and production schedules and preserved the acquisition strategy designed to meet program affordability objectives.
With the additional $876M, the F/A-22 EMD total program budget stands at $20.3B (then-year dollars); a 4.5% increase.
