Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date April 25, 2000
Report No. NSIAD-00-78
Subject
Summary:

The Defense Department (DOD) has built five prototype Global Hawk reconnaissance aircraft as part of an advanced concept technology demonstration. The goal of the demonstration is to determine whether the concept works as an Air Force reconnaissance aircraft before the military decides to acquire a production version of the plane. In response to congressional concerns about the cost of the Global Hawk, GAO reviewed the demonstration. This report discusses (1) whether the average unit flyaway price for the 10 Global Hawk production aircraft numbered 11 through 20 will be within DOD's price goal of $10 million each in fiscal year 1994 dollars; (2) the status of the military user demonstration, including the extent to which the Global Hawk has shown reconnaissance capabilities; and (3) DOD and Air Force plans to switch to a formal acquisition program. In an earlier report (GAO/NSIAD-99-29, Dec. 1998), GAO concluded that DOD was not making progress toward meeting its price goal for Global Hawk.
