Reduced Requirements For Modular Electronic Equipment For Aircraft

Abstract

The Air Force has invested billions of dollars in electronic equipment used in aircraft (avionics). For example, the avionics and spare parts for its F-111D aircraft alone have cost more than $900 million. GAO reviewed how the Air Force determined requirements for avionics spares used in the A-7D and F/FB-111 aircraft to determine whether the Air Force had realized all the advantages of the modular design concept for avionics.
