Murtha Chairman, Subcommittee on Defense Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives Over the last few years, we have reported on issues pertaining to the Air Force's Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM).' In June 1991, we reported on the status of production. We are reviewing the contractors' current status of missile production as part of our work on the AMRAAM Preplanned Product Improvement Program and plan to issue a report later this year. This letter is in response to your staffs' requests that we provide interim information on AMRAAM's production status to support deliberations on the fiscal year 1993 budget request. BACKGROUND The Air Force and the Navy jointly developed the AMRAAM and both services are procuring the missile. The Air Force manages the program. The Congress has appropriated over $4.4 billion through fiscal year 1992 to procure over 4,000 AMRAAMs in the first 6 production years. Hughes Aircraft Company and Raytheon Company are under contract to produce these missiles, as shown in table 1. 'Missile Procurement: AMRAAM's Reliability Is ImDrovina, but Production Challenges Remain (GAO/NSIAD-91-209, June 20, 1991) and Missile Procurement: Further Production of AMRAAM Should Not Be ApDroved Until Ouestions Are Resolved (GAO/NSIAD-90-146, May 4, 1990).
