Acquisition of the Mark XV Identification Friend-Or-Foe System
Abstract
The overall audit objective was to evaluate the acquisition management of the Mark XV 1FF system to determine if full-scale development efforts were adequately preparing the system for an economic and efficient production. The audit was made in accordance with our critical program management elements approach. Under this approach, we focused our evaluation on nine program management elements and related internal controls that are integral to the early full-scale development phase. We made this audit from April 1989 through February 1990. This program audit was made in accordance with auditing standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, as implemented by the Inspector General, DoD, and accordingly included such tests of internal controls as were deemed necessary. We reviewed data and information from 1984 to 1990, and interviewed personnel involved in the acquisition of the Mark XV 1FF system. During the audit, the Technical Assessment Division, Office of the Assistant Inspector General for Auditing, provided assistance in the mission critical computer resources and testing area. A list of activities visited or contacted during the audit is in Appendix F.
