Potentially Wasteful Procurements of Army Calibration and Support Equipment

Abstract

In our April 1981 report we recommended that the Secretary of Defense direct the Secretary of Army to: (1) develop accurate workload data on field Army calibrations because reliable data was needed to validate equipment requirements, (2) reexamine equipment capabilities to determine the extent to which automated equipment can replace manual equipment in field Army calibration units, and (3) conduct an independent hardware demonstration to establish the cost effectiveness and productivity increases that may be achieved through automating field Army calibration functions.
