Report Date Sept. 14, 1995
Report No. NSIAD-95-153
Subject
Summary:

The Army and the Navy have failed to fully consider how to integrate their independently developed systems to identify friend from foe on the battlefield and thus reduce fratricide incidents. Moreover, these systems, which could cost more than $4 billion, are limited to identifying "friends" equipped with compatible identification systems. GAO recently learned that the Army plans to acquire more near-term millimeter wave cooperative identification systems without analyzing whether the system can be integrated into the mid- and long-term solutions--as GAO recommended in an October 1993 report (GAO/NSIAD-94-19). The Army plans to acquire another 115 near-term systems at a cost of more than $23 million. The Defense Department and the Army are concerned about the affordability and cost-effectiveness of the near-term system, and it may never be fully fielded for these reasons. The Army's plan risks wasting millions on a system that may never be procured.
