Summary:

Colorado's Cheyenne Mountain complex is designed to track and warn of enemy air attacks. The Air Force program to modernize aging computer systems at the facility is eight years behind schedule and $792 million over budget. Air Force officials now project that the completion date will slip by another three years and that development costs will increase by at least $104 million. Both projections, GAO believes, may be understated. Moreover, major subsystem incompatibilities could prevent the upgraded system from becoming fully operational.
