Systems Development and Production Issue Area Plan Fiscal Years 1995-97
Abstract
The Systems Development and Production issue area is one of 35 issue areas for which GAO periodically develops multiyear strategic plans. Relying heavily on input from congressional committees, as well as industry, academia, and agency officials and other experts, GAO develops issue area plans to ensure that our resources are focused on the most important concerns of the Congress. For each issue area, GAOs strategic plan describes the significance of the issues, our objectives, and the focus of our work. GAOs goal is to serve as a source of timely, accurate information and unbiased analysis for decisionmakers in the Congress and executive agencies. Our work results in such products as reports, briefings, and testimonies. The Systems Development and Production issue area reviews programs of the Department of Defense (DOD), the individual military services, and other supporting defense agencies. Its work focuses on (1) the justification for new systems, (2) development and acquisition (or major modification)of military weapon systems, and (3) DODs budgeting for its procurement and research, development, test and evaluation (RDT and E) accounts. The principal issues we cover are the adequacy of the justifications for systems selected for development or modification; the efficient, effective, and economical acquisition of systems; and assurance that funds budgeted for procurement and for research, development, test, and evaluation can be and should be spent as indicated.
