Hotline Allegations Concerning An Unsolicited Proposal on a Fire Control Radar for the Longbow System

Abstract

We identified validity in one allegation (Allegation 1) and no validity in six allegations (Allegations 2 through 7). Although Allegation 1 was valid in that the DoD had not properly evaluated the unsolicited proposal, the valid condition had no adverse consequences. Officials in the Army evaluated the proposal during the audit and concluded that the proposed technology was potentially promising but required additional testing and development before the DoD could determine whether the technology had any practical application. The other six allegations were not valid for various reasons. The proposed technology either was too immature to be applied to systems in development at this time or was not applicable to the systems. Also, the complainant was incorrect in concluding that use of the proposed technology would eliminate the need for specific systems. The audit objective was to determine tile validity of Hotline allegations that we received concerning an unsolicited proposal on a FCR for the Longbow System.
