Report Date July 12, 1999
Report No. NSIAD-99-85
Subject
Summary:

Congress directed the Defense Department (DOD) to conduct an anti-submarine warfare (ASW) assessment because of concerns that ASW funding was falling relative to other Navy programs, that the Navy lacked a clear plan for identifying ASW requirements and funding priorities, and that ASW requirements were not being adequately considered in establishing the Navy's overall funding priorities. Congress directed that an assessment be done of ASW shortfalls and capabilities supported by rigorous analysis and the establishment of priorities among ASW programs. The Navy agreed to perform such a quantitative analysis. This report reviews (1) DOD's 1997 ASW assessment and (2) the role and the funding influence of the Navy's new Antisubmarine Warfare Requirements Division.
