Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Budget Estimates for the SSN-21 Submarine Program.

Abstract

The SSN-21 Class Attack Submarine (SSN-21) is a nuclear powered attack submarine that was designed to meet threats well into the 21st century. The SSN-21's missions include antisubmarine and antisurface warfare, strike warfare, ocean surveillance, and electronic and mine warfare. Research and development (R&D) of the SSN-21 began in 1984, and as of August 1991, about $1.6 billion of research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) funds had been expended for the SSN-21. At the time of the audit, the FY 1992 through FY 1997 RDT&E budget for continued development was $776.2 million. No funds were requested in the DOD FY 1992 budget; however, the Program Office believes that substantial requirements remain.
