By Andrea Shalal WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lockheed Martin Corp is likely to lose some incentive fees due to delays in final delivery of the 2B software it is developing for the F-35 fighter jet, the Air Force general who runs the $391 billion program told reporters on Tuesday. Lieutenant General Chris Bodgan said software testing in December revealed problems with the ability of the jets to fuse data about threats on the ground when four F-35s were flying at once. As a result, Lockheed would likely forfeit some of the $300 million in incentive fees linked to completion of three separate software packages - 2B, 3I and 3F - for the jet, he said. Lockheed spokesman Michael Rein said the 2B fee was only part of the available software award fee, and the amount would be determined once the final 2B software was delivered.
