Final Quick-Reaction Report on the Audit of the Acquisition Management of the Advanced Antitank Weapon System-Medium. Supplemental Interim Medium Antitank System

Abstract

The Army is conducting tests of three antitank weapon systems to determine which one is the superior system. The system selected as the superior system could be designated to serve as the Army's interim medium antitank system until the Advanced Antitank Weapon System-Medium (AAWS-M) is fielded. During the subject audit, we identified a fourth existing antitank weapon system, the Swiss Dragon W/H 90 (the Swiss Dragon), that could offer DoD substantial cost and operational benefits. However, the Army had not included the Swiss Dragon as a candidate in the tests. Since the Army is testing the missiles, immediate action is needed to include the Swiss Dragon in the tests so that the Army will have an opportunity to take advantage of the potential cost and operational benefits offered by the missile system.
