Trident II System: Status And Reporting






The Trident system consists of submarines,
missiles and associated weapon equip-
ment, and shore support facilities Trident I
missiles have been or are being installed on
the first eight submarines. Trident II mis-
siles will be installed on the ninth and sub-
sequent submarines and will eventually
replace the Trident I missiles on the first
eight submarines The Trident 11 is to provide
submarine ballistic missile forces with im-
proved accuracy and a capability to destroy
hard targets

The eventual cost of the Trident system is
uncertain because the Department of De-
fense has not established the number of
submarines and missites to be acquired
GAO recommends that the department do
so GAO also recommends that the depart-
ment change its reporting to the Congress
as a means to better monitor costs and other
aspects of the Trident system acquisition
