Development and Acquisition of DOD Maintenance and Diagnostic Systems-Army.

Abstract

The Integrated Family of Test Equipment Program was initiated by the Army in 1986 to reduce the proliferation of unique automatic test equipment that was being procured for each of the Army's weapon systems. Standard equipment developed under the Integrated Family of Test Equipment Program was designed to provide multi-functional testing capability of electronic components for major weapon systems. Over the 6-year Future Years Defense Program (FY 1992 through FY 1997) the Army planned, at the time of audit, to spend $2.6 billion to transition to the new standard equipment. The Army advised us in responding to our draft report that the Army has revised the estimated 5-year expenditures for new standard equipment to $600 million.
