The Department of Energy (DOE) is developing a ccamon
warhead for the Air Force's Air Launched Cruise Missile and the
Navy's Sea Launched Cruise Missile. Before gaining approval to
enter the next phase of development or production, the military
services must demonstrate to a Defense System Acquisition Review
Council that predetermined milestones CL major ,eapons programs
have been accomplished. Although it is a key part of the aeapons
program, the DOE's warhead program does Dit requi.re similar
evaluation by the Council. The Under Secretary of Defense
disagreed with the recommendation that a DOE official should
participate in each Defense System Acquisition Review Ccuncil
and concluded that procedures allow DOE participation if the
Chairman of the Council requests such participation. lcvever,
DOE should present the warhead's status, program alternatives,
and issues needing decisions at all Council reviews involving
nuclear weapons. This would allow the Council to evaluate the
entire weapon system before making recommendations on how, or
if, the program should proceed. (RRS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaayfe0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
