Heiser v. Lockheed Martin (Inflated Costs in Contract for Flight Training Programs)
Lockheed settled allegations that its Loral Corp. subsidiary inflated costs in a contract with the Air Force, in violation of the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, et seq. “In 1992, Loral contracted with the government to update flight training programs, including simulated programs for the F-15E Weapon System Trainer (WST) being developed by the Air Force. The lawsuit, which was unsealed today, alleges that Loral wrongfully inflated estimated costs it was required to disclose during contract negotiations, resulting in an inflated contract price and false claims for payment under the contract.”
