This report responds to your request that we provide information on the Navy's Trident II (D-5) missile contract's reliability incentives and contractor/government cost-sharing arrangements. You expressed interest after the Navy experienced two D-5 missile failures in the first three sea-launched missile flight tests. The D-5 missile full-scale development and initial production contract is a cost-plus-incentive-fee contract that includes reliability and other performance and program incentives. The reliability incentive was not affected by two failed sea-launched development missile flight tests because the tests were not made during the period designated as the basis for calculating incentive fees. The contractor has received a $112-million interim payment out of possible $138.5 million total reliability incentive target.
