Book Description
The Department of Defense (DOD)anticipates that the Future CombatSystem (FCS) will modernize theU.S. Army's ability to move, shoot,and communicate on thebattlefield. It is an impressiveconcept that is the product ofholistic, non-traditional thinking.The Army describes FCS as one ofthe most complex weaponacquisition programs ever executedbecause it involves developing andintegrating a family of 18 systemsand an information network. Armyleadership started the programearly as part of its effort to changeArmy culture and believes that theprogram risks are manageable.GAO is required by law to reviewthe program annually. In thisreport, GAO analyzes FCS'sacquisition business case andassesses requirements stability,technology maturity, soundness ofthe acquisition strategy, andreasonableness and affordability ofprogram costs.

Book Description
Today, about one-third of the way and $4.7 billion through FCS s development, the Army does not yet have the level of knowledge such as firm requirements and mature technologies it needed three years ago when it began product development. Army leadership started the program early as part of an overall effort to change the culture of the Army and believes that the risks in the program are manageable. While progress has been made and efforts are continuing in the requirements and technologies areas, the Army has not yet fulfilled the basic elements of a sound business case for a weapon system acquisition, including firm requirements, mature technologies, a sound strategy for attaining design and production maturity, realistic program cost estimates, and sufficient funding. The Army has made significant progress defining the initial FCS system of systems requirements, having reached agreement on nearly 11,500. However, FCS requirements are not yet matched with program resources because the Army still faces the daunting task of defining about 90,000 more requirements for FCS's 18 individual systems. Although firm requirements should have been established at the start of the program, the process of setting and refining FCS system-level requirements may not be complete until 2008. The initial system-level requirements defined to date are likely to change as technical feasibility and expected costs of the system-level requirements become clearer. The Army plans to trade off system requirements to offset technical risks and cost, but this flexibility is not unlimited as FCS overall capabilities are still expected to be as good as or better than those of the current Army forces in terms of lethality, survivability, responsiveness, and sustainability.

Book Description
Since FY 2000, the DoD has significantly increased the number of major defense acquisition programs and its overall investment in them. However, acquisition outcomes have not improved. In most cases, the programs failed to deliver capabilities when promised -- often forcing warfighters to spend additional funds on maintaining legacy systems. This testimony describes the systemic problems that have contributed to poor cost and schedule outcomes in DoD¿s acquisition of major weapon systems; recent actions DoD has taken to address these problems; and steps that Congress and DoD need to take to improve the future performance of DoD¿s major weapon programs.
