Summary:

Although the Army maintains that the Apache's area weapon system has passed most endurance requirements, exceeded reliability requirements, and passed accuracy requirements, testing procedures and conditions did not produce enough information to fully assess whether these requirements were met. GAO recommends that the Army (1) require the contractor to retest the area weapon system to ensure that it meets contract reliability specifications, (2) operationally test the area weapon system to determine what the field users can realistically expect to achieve in terms of reliability performance and distribute the results to the user community, and (3) validate the accuracy improvements on each of the different fuselage configurations during the October 1993 accuracy test.
