Memorandum: Annual SAR Review 1 (August 1992)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo9683 and id is 1 raw text is: a CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE U.S. Congress Washington, DC 20515 Robert D. Reischauer Director August 17, 1992 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD FROM: Mick Miller Bill Myers Ray Hall SUBJECT: Annual SAR Review The December 1991 Selected Acquisition Reports (SARs) were submitted to the Congress in March, 1992, in support of the fiscal year 1993 budget request. At the request of Congressional staff, we have examined these reports in detail. Our examination reveals that the Department of Defense (DoD) projects total program costs about 1 percent below levels of a year ago (adjusted for inflation and quantity changes), but cost projections for individual systems vary widely and the results of our analysis should be interpreted with caution. This memorandum presents these results, highlighting aggregate cost changes and individual weapons system program changes. All costs are in current budget authority, unless otherwise noted. AGGREGATE COST CHANGES The total program costs provided in the SARs include research and development, procurement, military construction, and operation and maintenance appropriations. Total program costs reflect actual and projected costs of selected weapon systems from the development phase through the final buy. This year, the SARs cover 111 systems including 6 reports that are being submitted for the first time and over 2,500 pages of information. The systems' costs represent nearly 40 percent of the Administration's 1993 request for weapons procurement. Excluding systems that were first included in the SARs in the past year, our analysis shows that DoD projections of total program costs have increased by about 2 percent ($163 billion) over the past year, unadjusted for inflation and quantity changes.
