Selected Acquisition Report (SAR) Summary Tables, As of Date: June 30, 1997

Abstract

SARs summarize the latest estimates of cost, schedule, and technical status. These reports are prepared annually in conjunction with the President's budget. Subsequent quarterly exception reports are required only for those programs experiencing unit cost increases of at least 15 percent or schedule delays of at least six months. Quarterly SARs are also submitted for initial reports, final reports, and for programs that are rebaselined at major milestone decisions. The total program cost estimates provided in the SARs include research and development, procurement, military construction, and acquisition-related operation and maintenance. Total program costs reflect actual costs to date as well as anticipated costs for future efforts. All estimates include allowances for anticipated inflation. The current estimate of program acquisition costs for programs covered by SARs for the prior reporting period (December 1996) was $716,908.4 million. After subtracting the costs for a terminated reports and adding the costs for new programs, the December 1996 adjusted current estimate of program acquisition costs was $725,888.1 million. There was a net increase of $1,423.3 million during the current reporting period (June 1997). The cost changes between December 1996 and June 1997 are summarized.
