handle is hein.gao/gaobackqa0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 152338 United States General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 National Security and International Affairs Dixision B-258052 August 11, 1994 Major General William H. Campbell, USA Program Executive Office, Command and Control Systems Fort Monmouth, New Jersey 07703 Dear General Campbell: We reviewed the Army's efforts to implement the Army Tactical Command and Control System (ATCCS) program. Our specific objective was to evaluate the changes in the program's development and acquisition plans. To date, the Army has bought over $186 million of common hardware and software (CHS) I equipment. The ATCCS segments are planning to use more capable computers without considering whether to continue to use the existing inventory of CHS I 300 series (330, 350, 375, 380, and 382 models) computers and related equipment as currently configured or in some upgraded version. Our review showed that no plan existed for the effective and efficient use of CHS 300 series equipment. The Army could spend up to $76 million for replacement computers. Using a combination of existing and upgraded 300 series equipment provides a more cost-effective alternative. The Army has over 1,600 CHS 300 series computers in its inventory. All current ATCCS users of the CHS 300 series are planning to switch to the CHS 735 model and/or CHS II models. Some ATCCS users have already begun using 735s. An effective strategy to utilize 300 series equipment is needed because upgrade components may not be available after the contract expires in August 1995. The upgraded computers could be used to partially meet the Army's requirement for over 4,800 CHS computers through fiscal year 1999. We identified some options for using the CHS 300 series computers in a cost-effective manner. Option I is to use the 300 series computers as currently configured.
