WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A Pentagon program to interchange a few of its getting older intercontinental ballistic missiles shall be years not on time and 81% over funds, the U.S. navy mentioned on Monday.

The venture, now named the Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile program, is designed and managed by Northrop Grumman (NYSE:), and goals to interchange getting older Minuteman III missiles.

This system is estimated to value $140.9 billion, up 81% from a value estimate in September 2020.

“We are fully aware of the costs, but we are also aware of the risks of not modernizing our nuclear forces and not addressing the very real threats we confront,” U.S. Below Secretary of Protection for Acquisition and Sustainment William LaPlante informed reporters. LaPlante licensed that this system ought to proceed regardless of the fee overrun.

“There are reasons for the cost growth, but there are no excuses. We are already working to address the root causes, and more importantly, we believe we are on the right path to defend our nation,” LaPlante added.

Nearly all of the fee development is related to launch services, launch facilities and different processes concerned with changing from Minuteman III to Sentinel. Reuters has reported that the “unmodified program” value could possibly be as a lot as $160 billion.

The brand new Sentinel value estimate eclipses a rise to “at least” $131 billion that the Air Pressure made public in January.
