The Navy P-8A Poseidon Aircraft Needs Additional Critical Testing Before the Full-Rate Production Decision (Redacted)

Abstract

The overall audit objective was to determine whether the Navy effectively prepared the P-8A Poseidon program for the full-rate production (FRP) decision. Specifically, we evaluated whether the Navy addressed system shortfalls and increased its flight hours to fully assess system reliability as the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT and E) advised after the low-rate initial production (LRIP) decision in August 2010. See Appendix A for a discussion of the audit scope and methodology. The definition of technical terms is contained in the glossary after the last appendix.
