Weapon Acquisition Program Outcomes and Efforts to Reform DOD's Acquisition Process
Abstract
This is GAO's 14th annual assessment of DOD weapon system acquisitions, an area that has been on GAO's high-risk list for 24 years. The report assessed selected weapon programs in DODs fiscal year 2015 major defense acquisition portfolio. Our objectives were to determine: 1) how DODs portfolio of 79 major defense acquisitions performed over time in terms of both cost and schedule; 2) to what extent 43 selected weapon acquisition programs demonstrated key product knowledge at specific milestones in the acquisition process; 3) to what extent 43 current and 12 future major acquisition programs implemented key reform initiatives and addressed concurrent acquisition activities.
