Munitions lift trailers are large support vehicles used to transport and load nuclear weapons on strategic bombers. GAO's evaluation indicates that acquisition of 90 newly designed lift trailers for B-1B bombers would cost about $10 million less over 15 years than the same number of lift trailers of current design. If competition could be introduced for the existing trailers, a savings of $3 million to $5 million might be realized. Nevertheless, the life cycle cost of the new design trailers would still be $5 million to $7 million lower.
