Milestone Review Process for the Consolidated Automated Support System
Abstract
The Navy's Consolidated Automated Support System (CASS) includes standardized automatic test equipment with computer-assisted, multi-function capabilities with potential multi-Service application to support testing of aircraft subsystems and missiles. The Navy Acquisition Executive approved low-rate initial production for 55, 60, and 68 CASS stations, in September 1990, July 1992, and June 1993, respectively. A Navy program decision meeting for a Milestone Ill, Production Approval, decision was scheduled for December 1993; however, the decision was deferred until March 1994. On March 25, the program decision meeting was held, approving entry into the production and deployment phase of the acquisition process. The audit objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of the milestone review process for Component-managed acquisition programs. The audit also assessed the adequacy of the information provided to DoD Component milestone decision authorities in support of major milestone and program reviews and evaluated internal controls related to the objective. The CASS Program was one program reviewed in our ongoing audit of the Milestone Review Process for Component-Managed Acquisition Programs.
