Report Date Nov. 17, 1997
Report No. NSIAD-98-11
Subject
Summary:

The Army plans to award a multiyear contract for the Apache Longbow helicopter's fire control radar in December 1997. The law requires that the design of a system be stable before a multiyear contract is awarded. The radar's transmitter, a critical component, is being redesigned. Moreover, DOD regulations require that qualification tests and evaluations be completed before a decision is made on full-rate production. The original transmitter may not complete qualification testing and the redesigned transmitter's performance will not be demonstrated before the contract is awarded. In a January 1997 letter to DOD, GAO raised concerns about the stability of the transmitter's design and concluded that the radar would not be ready for the planned multiyear procurement. Although this report reaffirms that conclusion, the Army still plans to proceed with the multiyear contract. GAO believes that award of the contract should be delayed until all statutory and regulatory requirements are met.
