The World Wide Military Command and Control System -- Evaluation Of Vendor and Department of Defense Comments

Abstract

On December 14, 1979, GAO issued a report to the Congress entitled "The World Wide Military Command and Control System--Major Changes Needed In Its Automated Data Processing Management and Direction" (LCD-80-22). Comments from the Department of Defense and the vendor--Honeywell Information Systems, Inc.--were not received in time to be incorporated into the report along with our evaluation. Consequently, this report should be considered an integral part of the December 1979 report. Although the vendor agrees with the content of the December 1979 report, the Department of Defense characterizes the report as being inaccurate and misleading, containing inappropriate conclusions, and presenting inapplicable recommendations. The Department's comments are inconsistent with known conditions, recent Department of Defense comments made to the Congress regarding the World Wide Military Command and Control System ADP program, and the results of recent Department of Defense studies of the issues discussed in the 1979 report.
