Acquiring Weapon Systems In A

Period Of Rising Expenditures:

Implications For Defense Management


The planned rapid growth in defense expendi-
tures in the next few years makes it especially
important for the Department of Defense to
exercise tight control over the development
and acquisition of weapon systems. In a series
of 24 reports, GAO has identified a number
of problems in weapon systems development.
Adoption of GAO's recommendations would
help to

     --minimize risks and ensure system ef-
     fectiveness,

     --improve disclosure of information to
     the Congress,

     --ensure that weapon systems meet mis-
     sion requirements,

     --evaluate alternatives, and

     --reduce costs.

Considering the high cost and complexity of
modern weaponry, the Departmentof Defense
must ensure that its weapon systems will be ef-
fective in planned missions.
