Report Date March 5, 1997
Report No. T-NSIAD-97-105
Subject
Summary:

Considerable discussion has taken place in recent months about the Defense Department's (DOD) aircraft modernization programs. Much of the discussion has addressed whether DOD will be able to "afford" the large number of new combat aircraft that it now plans to buy. This testimony, which is based on a September 1996 GAO report (GAO/NSIAD-96-177), focuses on joint warfighting requirements, the aggregate capabilities of U.S. combat air power forces to meet those requirements, and DOD efforts to place greater emphasis on joint considerations in program and budget decisions.
