Abstract
In 2001, the United States government selected Lockheed Martin (over Boeing) to lead the development of a fifth generation fighter aircraft for the use by the United States’ Air Force, Navy, and Marines. Although assorted Congressional committees and Pentagon officials have continued to express no shortage of concerns over the project's overruns, delays and performance shortfalls of the F-35, the so-called “arms deal of the century” remains on track. Along with several other United States’ allies, Canada expressed interest early on by contributing funds toward the development of the F-35, and many Canadian companies have already been involved in the project. In 2010, the Harper government vowed to buy 65 F-35s. This special issue takes a second look at this proposed military procurement, and examines the main issues of concern for Canada.
