handle is hein.gao/gaobackga0001 and id is 1 raw text is: United States GAO) General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 National Security and International Affairs Division , '' ~ ~~~~I II MIl l III Ill IIi 148632 March 5, 1993 The Honorable William V. Roth, Jr. Ranking Minority Member Committee on Governmental Affairs United States Senate The Honorable David H. Pryor Chairman, Subcommittee on Federal Services, Post Office, and Civil Service Committee on Governmental Affairs United States Senate As you requested, we have been reviewing the results of the operational testing of the Navy's Airborne Self-Protection Jammer (ASPJ). We have also been surveying alternative systems that the Navy could conceivably use instead of ASPJ to protect its fighter and attack aircraft from threat weapons. This correspondence summarizes the results of our work. The Commander of the Navy's Operational Test and Evaluation Force on August 17, 1992, and DOD's Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) on December 4, 1992, reported the results of ASPJ testing. The conclusions were that ASPJ failed to meet both the effectiveness and suitability criteria developed by the Navy, validated by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council, and included in the test plan approved by DOT&E. The Navy testers concluded that when using current tactics, ASPJ did not perform significantly better than the Navy's currently fielded jammer, the ALQ-126B. Furthermore, both the Navy testers and DOT&E concluded that due to built-in test deficiencies, human factors, and for other reasons, ASPJ was not operationally suitable. Subsequently, on December 11, 1992, DOD's Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition directed the Navy to comply with provisions of the Fiscal Year 1993 National Defense Authorization Act. As a result, the Navy terminated the production of ASPJ. GAO/NSIAD-93-142R Electronic Warfare
