U.S. Special Operations Forces: Helicopter Cost Is Understated and Reliability Measures Are Inadequate

Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Jan. 25, 1994
Report No. NSIAD-94-46
Subject
Summary:

The $1.2 billion in development and procurement estimates submitted to Congress does not reflect the total costs to develop and procure the MH-47E and MH-60K helicopters. For example, at least $367 million in procurement costs were omitted because they were included in budget documents for Army programs or activities. In addition, the total cost to support and maintain the aircraft--pegged at upwards of $3.6 billion--has not been reported to Congress because there is no requirement to do so. The primary reliability measurement criterion the Army plans to use to assess the helicopters' reliability is flawed because it measures only their ability to return to friendly territory and not their ability to perform special missions. Because the Army is focusing on the aircraft's ability to return to friendly territory, the measure does not assess the effectiveness of essential equipment.
