Report Date May 13, 1996

Subject
Summary:

In view of continuing concerns over future defense spending and the military's services' ample ability to intercept enemy missiles and aircraft, GAO questions the Pentagon's decision to upgrade warplanes and other weapons systems at a cost of more than $200 billion during the next 20 years. GAO recommends that the Defense Department routinely review modernization proposals according to how they will enhance the overall ability of the U.S. military to intercept enemy targets. Proposals that add redundancy, such as the B-1B and Apache modifications and the purchase of F/A-18E/Fs, attack helicopters, and precision-guided missiles, should be examined in the context of the additional interdiction capability they offer. This analysis could serve as the basis for deciding funding priorities, the sufficiency of investment, and the future force structure.
