Defense Acquisitions: Readiness of the Marine Corps V-22 Aircraft for Full-Rate Production

Abstract

In a letter to Secretary of Defense Cohen, dated December 15, 2000, we stated that the Marine Corps V-22 aircraft 1 was not ready for full-rate production and that the Secretary had made a prudent decision to defer that production decision until the V-22 Blue Ribbon Panel reports its findings. 2 On January 12, 2001, we provided the Panel with additional details at their request. A copy of the briefing and briefing support material that we presented to the Panel are in enclosures I and II.
