  Report To The Secretary Of Defense







  GAO Assessment of DOD's Very High Speed

  Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) Technology Program


GAO reviewed DOD's Very High Speed Integrated
Circuits (VHSIC) program--an effort to develop and
demonstrate advanced data and signal processing
technology for defense systems. Although progress
has been made, the development, demonstration,
and independent verification of first generation VHSIC
technology is behind schedule. Nevertheless, DOD
believes that VHSIC technology must be used in
defense systems and in 1982 expanded the program
to promote near-term system applications.

In light of the delays and other problems, GAO is
concerned with DOD's decision to further expand
subsidies to stimulate earlier application of VHSIC
technology. To achieve the goals of the program,
GAO believes that DOD should emphasize progress
goals for already approved contractor subsidies and
the demonstration and independent testing of first
generation VHSIC technology.

This report discusses the expansion of the program,
as well as the status of its original objectives, and
recommends alternative ways for DOD to encourage
system developers to promptly consider using VHSIC
technology.
