Self-Reported F-35 Overbilling
Lockheed Martin announced it would refund the Department of Defense roughly $265 million for inadvertently overbilling on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter development program. Lockheed Martin discovered an accounting error during a routine audit earlier that week and immediately notified the government.
