Battlefield Automation: Army's Air Defense Command and Control System Status and Program Issues.

Abstract

As requested by the former Chairman, Subcommittee on Defense, House Committee on Appropriations, the General Accounting Office reviewed the technical performance, delivery schedules, and cost of the Army's FAAD 021 system. Because of concerns expressed by the former Chairman, GAO concentrated on the status of the system's ground-based sensor and aerial sensor components. However, because of problems encountered by the Army, GAO also reviewed the status of the other system components. Examined were acquisition plans, schedules, and cost estimates, requirements documents, test plans and reports, and other documents as necessary to determine the progress and status of the program. In addition, GAO discussed the system's performance, schedule, and estimated costs with the Air Defense Command and Control Systems project manager and his staff to determine the reasons for and effect of various changes in the program.
