I'm hoping one or two here know an example or two of true multiyear being used for fairly large dollar acquisitions.
Two hours of Google indicate that a lot of people who ought to know better use the term multiyear loosely (no spreading of non-recurring startup cost with recoupment in the event subsequent years don't get exercised) when all they really mean is "multiple year" or options for follow-on years. As nearly as I can tell -- since there's mention of cost savings -- Navy's Aegis program used multiyear at one point. Other Google results include HMMWV (Humvee) and Javelin but digging in a bit does nothing to confirm use of multiyear as defined.
Please, no major research asked for, just "top of your head" data call. Thanks in advance.

See GAO Report GAO-08-298, Defense Acquisitions: DOD?s Practices and Processes for Multiyear Procurement Should Be Improved (February 2008). It describes several such programs: F-22A, V-22, F/A-18E/F and others. According to the report:
For the past 25 years, the Department of Defense (DOD) has used multiyear contracts to procure thousands of major weapon systems, investing about $10 billion annually in recent years. Multiyear procurement is a special authority to contract for up to 5 program years of requirements in one year.
I can't imagine why you spent two hours on Google with so few results. A 30 second Google search for
brought up several reports listing many such programs.
