Management of DOD Long-Haul Telecommunications Requirements.

Abstract

The Assistant Secretary of Defense (Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence) requested an audit of DoD long-haul telecommunications requirements and their management on September 12, 1997. The request reiterated the current policy that pronounces the Defense Information Systems Agency as the sole provider and manager of long-haul telecommunications systems and services for the DoD. The request also stated that the way to achieve an affordable, efficient DoD telecommunications system that supports the missions of the Department is to implement standard solutions supported by interoperable, common-user systems for all identified and validated requirements. The Defense Information Systems Agency contracted for transmission services at $5 billion over a 9-year period to support the DoD common-user system, the Defense Information Systems Network. The Naval Audit Service, the Air Force Audit Agency, and the Office of the Inspector General, Defense Information Services Agency also participated in this audit.
