 BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



 Report To The Congress.

 OF THE UN TED STATES




 Better Planning, And Management Of Threat

 SimulatorsAnd Aerial Targets Is Crucial

To Effective Weapon Systems Performance


Operational test and evaluation is the most
effective way, under peacetime conditions,
to determine a weapon system's combat
worth. Realistic testing, however, requires
test resources, such as threat simulators
and aerial targets, that duplicate, to the
extent possible, the characteristics of the
enemy's weapon systems.

DOD's test resource planning practices,
organizational structures, management em-
phasis, and intelligence support for threat
simulators and aerial targets can be im-
proved to provide better assurance that cur-
rent and future weapon systems will meet
performance expectations.

GAO recommends several actions to im-
prove DOD's planning and management of
critical test resources. GAO also recom-
mends that the Congress monitor DOD's
progress in resolving the problems identi-
fied in this report.
