Space Defense Management and Technical Problems Delay Operations Center Acquisition

Abstract

In response to your predecessors request and subsequent discussions with your office, we assessed how well the Air Force has managed the Space Defense Operations Center modernization effort. The replacement system will be an integral part of the North American Aerospace Defense Commands ability to provide space surveillance and satellite attack warning information to United States leaders. We found that the modernization effort has been marked by Air Force management problems, is significantly behind schedule and over budget, and has not met established requirements.
