GAO          United States
             General Accounting Office
             Washington, D.C. 20548

             National Security and
             International Affairs Division



             B-257974


             November 30, 1994

             The Honorable John P. Murtha
             Chairman
             The Honorable Joseph M. McDade
             Ranking Minority Member
             Subcommittee on Defense
             Committee on Appropriations
             House of Representatives

             The Honorable Daniel K. Inouye
             Chairman
             The Honorable Ted Stevens
             Ranking Minority Member
             Subcommittee on Defense
             Committee on Appropriations
             United States Senate

             As part of our continuing work on Department of Defense
             (DOD) space programs and activities, the Chairman, House
             Appropriations Defense Subcommittee asked that we monitor
             the Air Force's plans for upgrading its satellite control
             network and DOD's plans for achieving a common,
             integrated network for all DOD satellites. As a matter
             of priority, we concentrated on the $60 million in fiscal
             year 1995 Air Force research, development, test, and
             evaluation funds that the House and Senate Committees on
             Appropriations required be withheld from obligation. The
             Committees' approval is needed to release the funds.

             Our work indicates that the Air Force now has an adequate
             basis for obligating the $60 million because the planned
             use of the satellite control network funds will (1) aid
             in establishing, refining, and validating guiding
             principles, evaluation criteria, and functional
             requirements to improve existing sub-architectures and
             potentially develop a future integrated architecture, (2)
             help overcome certain existing network deficiencies, and
             (3) not prematurely confine the network upgrades to a
             proprietary or Air Force-specific solution.



                                                 GAO/NSIAD-95-69R DOD Satellite Control
