MASAD-82-5 1 (1981-10-20)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabcok0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 1) 66s BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report. To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Budgetary Pressures Created By The Army's Plans To Procure New Major Weapon Systems Are Just Beginning The Army is now facing the problem of fund- ing the procurement of all 14 of its new major weapon systems. Recent experience has shown that as new Army weapons begin pro- duction, procurement costs run considerably higher than anticipated. Since 11 of the 14 weapon systems have not yet gained any sig- nificant production experience, their cost es- timates are likely to be on the low side. Fielding all 14 new systems during the next decade is likely to seriously strain the Army's operation and support resources since, com- pared to present weapons, these systems will require more people with higher skills, as well as increased expenditures for fuel, spares, and ammunition. GAO recommends improvements in planning for the procurement and eventual support of these weapon systems to alleviate the future budgetary strains they could impose. , D S'Tq 116685 U MASAD-82-5 CCOIr October 20, 1981 3
