Review of Determination of Requirements for Aircraft Ground Support Equipment Shows Need for Management Improvement

Abstract

This report presents our findings on a review directed primarily toward determining whether the selection, authorization, and purchase of aircraft ground support equipment was properly correlated with actual needs. Our review concentrated on ground support equipment related to the F-4 aircraft because it was one of the newest aircraft being used by the military services. We found that, if the Navy and Air Force had coordinated their needs for ground support equipment effectively, procurement costs could have been reduced by at least $1.2 million.
