Exhibit 3 is devel- oped from this database—and shows the top 100 contractors to the Navy during the preceding fiscal year. Major winners were Newport News (two aircraft carriers, subma- rines), General Dynamics (subma- rines, ATA aircraft, missiles), McDonnell Douglas (F-18 and ATA aircraft, missiles), General Electric (electronics, nuclear plants), Grum- man (F-14, A-6 and E-2C aircraft), Litton (Aegis and LHD ships, elec- tronics), Lockheed (Trident II mis- siles), Raytheon (electronics, mis- siles) and Hughes (torpedoes, mis- siles). Long Term Outlook The Navy views a shipbuilding program of about $11 billion per year as necessary to maintain the current force structure. This figure would support a building rate of 18 to 20 ships per year. Fleet growth resulting from the recent build-up will generate on in- creasing flow of ship and ship sys- tems maintenance and repair. Spending for this activity—includ- ing purchase of equipment and its installation—is projected to be an additional $10 billion annually. Weapons procurement by the Navy will likely continue at a $6 bil- lion to $6-1/2 billion level over the foreseeable future. Research and de- velopment will probably remain around $9 billion to $9-1/2 billion annually.
