"Per Unit Costs" and "Total Program Costs" are based on DoD's Selected Acquistion Report, November 15, 2006, with the exception of the B-2 Bomber, which is no longer listed. “Per Unit Costs” are derived by dividing total program costs by the number of systems purchased, and include both procurement and research & development funding.
