BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL


Report To The Chairman,

Senate Committee On Governmental Affairs



OF THE UN TED STATES




Production Of Some Major Weapon Systems

Began With Only Limited Operational Test

And Evaluation Results



This report addresses the sufficiency of
operational test and evaluation on concur-
rently developed and produced major wea-
pon systems and the adequacy of reports
on test results to the Congress.
Overall, GAO found that when major wea-
pon systems are concurrently developed
and produced, planned operational test
and evaluation critical to assessing mis-
sion performance was typically not per-
formed before beginning the production
phase. GAO also found that available test
results are sometimes omitted or mis-
represented in reports to the Congress,
creating misleading impressions of a
weapon system's performance capabil-
ities.

GAO makes recommendations to enhance
DOD and congressional oversight on the
performance of major weapon systems
before production start-up.
