NSIAD-89-224BR 1 (1989-09-05)

handle is hein.gao/gaobacisk0001 and id is 1 raw text is: B-21 5825 should be of high enough priority within DOD to demonstrate stability before receiving multiyear contracting authority. Once this authority is granted, stability of the requirement and funding levels is essential to achieving the projected savings. The concurrent development and production schedule for the planned modifications to the M T 'rank and the E-2C aircraft creates uncertainty about the design stability of these systems during the proposed multi- year contract period. Because it is a new system that has not yet been designed, tested, or produced, design stability is also uncertain for the Palletized Load System. As requested, we did not obtain official DOD comments on this report. However, we discussed our findings with officials from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Army, Navy, and Air Force Headquarters, and the individual program offices and have included their views where appropriate. We are sending copies of this report to the Chairmen, House Committee on Appropriations, Senate and House Committees on Armed Services, House Committee on Government Operations, and Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs. Copies are also being sent to the Secretaries of I)efense, the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force, and other interested parties. This report, was prepared under the direction of Paul F. Math, Director for Research, Development, Acquisition, and Procurement Issues, who may be reached on (202) 275-8400, if you or your staff have any ques- tions. Other major contributors are listed in appendix IV. Sincerely yours, ! Frank C. Conahan Assistant Comptroller General GAOiNSIAD-89-224BR Multiyear Page 3
