Financial Status Of Selected Major Weapon Systems: Department of Defense

Abstract

In 1969 the Congress asked GAO to report periodically on the progress and status of various acquisition systems. This review was directed to compiling data on changes reported to the estimated costs of 45 major weapon systems on the selected acquisition reports (SAR) for the 6 months ended June 30, 1973. For the 6 months there was a net increase of $2,745.8 million in estimated costs for these systems. We have made no auditor verification of the reported data. Appendix I provides details on the cost changes that occurred between December 31, 1972, and June 30, 1973 SAR. Appendix II shows the cost data appearing on the June 30, 1973, SAR. This includes new systems in addition to the 45 originally included in our October 2, 1973, report.
