Development and Acquisition of DoD Maintenance and Diagnostic Systems-Navy

Abstract

The Consolidated Automated Support System Program was initiated by the Navy to reduce the proliferation of unique automatic test equipment being procured for each of the Navy's weapon systems. In 1985, the Secretary of the Navy designated Consolidated Automated Support System equipment as the standard automatic test equipment for intermediate and depot level electronic maintenance throughout the Navy. The Navy plans to spend $2.5 billion to transition to the new standard equipment. Our audit objectives were to evaluate the compatibility, cost, performance, and other characteristics of various maintenance test and diagnostic systems being procured or scheduled for procurement. Special emphasis was placed on evaluating the plans for transitioning to the Consolidated Automated Support System test equipment.
