The Defense Resources Board and the All Source Analysis System. An Example of Bureaucratic Politics

Abstract

ASAS is one of the Army's most controversial developmental programs. It is the number one priority intelligence system and among the top ten priorities (out of more than 500). In the Army With over $1 billion in sunk costs and ten years in development, the system remains four years from fielding. Continued development and procurement are projected to cost an additional billion dollars. As costs continue to rise, numerous opponents have come to the fore. The most formidable opponent has been Dr. Chu, the PAE chief and wunderkind of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD).
