procure/procurement
By the time all 183 jets have been purchased, around $28 billion will have been spent on research and development, with an additional $34 billion spent on actually procuring the aircraft. This will result in a cost of about $339 million per aircraft. The current cost, or "fly away cost" for one additional F-22 stands at about $137 million. If the Air Force were to buy 100 more F-22s today, each plane would be less than $117M and would continue to drop with additional aircraft purchases.
I found the words procure and procurement are used whenever talking about the production or acquisition of new weaponry, but I don't know exactly what kind of activity it indicates, can anyone give me a couple of examples of how you use them, is there any other words that can be used interchangeably?
Thank you.

Procure = acquire, get. You can replace it with the word that indicates how they are getting the aircraft. I'm not sure who is being referenced in the example, but buying or building may work in the sentence to replace procuring.
