Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Aug. 18, 1994
Report No. NSIAD-94-194
Subject
Summary:

In May 1992, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition approved the Navy's request that the F/A-18E/F development be designated as a major modification of its existing F/A-18C/D, instead of a new program. He decided that acquisition regulations did not require a Cost and Operational Effectiveness Analysis for this modification, and he waived certain live fire testing requirements. The Under Secretary based his decision on (1) Navy analyses that indicated that the E/F development was a low to moderate risk and (2) recommendations made by the Conventional Systems Committee of the Defense Acquisition Board. Applicable defense acquisition regulations allow management discretion in these matters for the purpose of minimizing development time and reducing costs. By treating this as a modification, some steps normally followed for new acquisitions have been skipped. GAO is not in a position to conclude whether the decision made thus far will have a positive or negative effect on the program.
