Lessons Learned on the B-2 Training Program

Abstract

The objective of the audit was to determine whether requirements planning, development, test and evaluation, and the potential impact on readiness of training simulators and devices were adequately considered in the acquisition process. The B-2 program was 1 of 30 programs and projects included in our review. Specifically, we determined whether economic analyses were considered as part of the decision process, whether test and evaluation requirements were incorporated into the Test and Evaluation Master Plan, and whether requirements were adequately supported and documented before development. In addition, we evaluated the impact of training simulators and devices on the operational readiness of the Military Departments. The final objective was to evaluate applicable management controls. Because Inspector General, DoD, Report No. 96-028, Implementation of the DoD Management Control Program for Major Defense Acquisition Programs, November 28, 1995, adequately addresses management controls for the B-2 program, we did not review applicable management controls.
