Acquisition: Acquisition of the Advanced Deployable System

Abstract

This report should be read by all who are interested in the acquisition of the Navy's Advanced Deployable System (the System). The report addresses acquisition issues that require higher management attention before the System program should be allowed to progress further through the acquisition process. The System, a Navy Acquisition Category II program, is a next- generation, ship-deployable, undersea surveillance system that is designed to operate in littoral waters, The System is linked to a land facility for data processing, evaluation, and reporting. The System will be used to conduct missions, such as threat port surveillance, friendly port protection, area defense, area sanitization, and strategic indications and warnings. The System will have the ability to be installed overtly or covertly, depending on the needs of the Joint Task Force Commander. The program office's estimate includes $793.7 million for research, development, test, and evaluation for all four blocks of the evolutionary acquisition strategy and $785 million for procurement for the first two blocks.
