Use of Foreign Materiel Exploitation Results.

Abstract

Foreign materiel exploitation involves analysis, testing, and evaluation of foreign materiel, to include testing against U.S. equipment. Foreign materiel exploitation supports DoD acquisition programs, testing, threat simulator and target development, modeling and simulation, and training and tactics. For FY 1996, the Military Departments estimated that they spent about $117 million on foreign materiel exploitation projects. The audit objective was to evaluate the timeliness and effectiveness of the coordination, dissemination, and use of foreign materiel exploitation results. Specifically, we reviewed how the Military Departments used foreign materiel exploitation results for modifying simulators, for assisting in target development, and for training and tactics purposes. We also reviewed the management control program related to that objective.
