Navy and Air Force Aircraft Fuel Cells
Abstract
This audit was performed in response to a DoD Hotline complaint regarding DoD procurement of aircraft fuel cells. The complainant alleged that foreign-manufactured fuel cells were of better quality and had a longer useful life than domestically manufactured fuel cells. The complainant also alleged that domestic manufacturers were attempting to eliminate foreign competition to enable domestic manufacturers to dictate prices. This report was based on our evaluation of the quality and pricing of foreign and domestic fuel cells procured by DoD for two types of Navy and Air Force helicopters. We evaluated the quality and pricing of Army helicopter fuel cells in Inspector General, DoD, Report No. 94-001, "Aircraft Fuel Cell Procurements,'? October 13, 1993. See Prior Audits and Other Reviews, Part I, for a summary of our evaluation.
